That's great news. My bandwidth is so limited that checking this fact is
impracticle. So this helps a lot to know. I haven't tried 2.3.24 or 2.3.13 or
2.2.13 out yet either. Seems like 2.2.14's due out soon and I figured I'd just
wait.

It was more speculation in part based on diff'ing different releases to see how
much PPC specific changes had occured. I've also seen reference by others on
the linuxppc-dev list that seemed to point to this code improving things
stability wise. Maybe I just misunderstood or something. I'm kind of too
crunched for time right now to dig this out --- sorry about that. I'll try
being more thourough later on when I get more time or maybe the problem will
have just been totally fixed.

Whatever the case, thanks for considering it.
