Hi! Find below my third regression report for Linux 4.16. It lists 7
regressions I'm currently aware of. 3 were fixed since last weeks report.

To anyone reading this: Are you aware of any other regressions that got
introduced this development cycle? Then please let me know by mail (a
simple bounce or forward to the email address is enough!).

For details see http://bit.ly/lnxregtrackid And please tell me if there
is anything in the report that shouldn't be there.

Ciao, Thorsten

Debian kernel package tool make-kpkg stalls indefinitely during kernel
build due to commit "kconfig: remove check_stdin()"

either if it turns out to cause massive amounts of pain in practice I
guess, even if it's the Debian tools doing something weird."
