 OK.

 OK, Gabriel is currently unreachable for two weeks (correct me if
 I'm wrong). So here's some advice to all VME testers : take the
 testvme.c program from Gabriel's website - make sure you have
 a patched 2.2.6 kernel -, strip the program from everything you
 think you don't need. The problem is : use ``window'' instead
 of ``attr''. I think Gabriel was using different (newer? older?)
 include files, because this solves the problem.

 You can start from my own stripped-down version (in attachment).
