Glad to hear that the linuxppc_2_3 bk tree is not dead. I was just going
to ask about it, because since 2 weeks it has remained at -test8 which
is feared for its terrible mailbox-eating habits.

On the other hand, I am running a kernel obtained from this tree by
applying just the "official" test9-pre1 patch, and I have now an uptime
of 4 days, 22:02. This is the longest uptime I ever had with a 2.3/4
kernel. No spontaneous freezes so far <knocking on wood>.
