Hi! Find below my seventh regression report for Linux 4.16; it's a "the
final release is getting closer" special release. It lists 7 regressions
I'm currently aware of. 1 was fixed since the report I sent on Tuesday;
1 is new.

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 sender of this email address is enough!). And please tell
me if there is anything in the report that shouldn't be there.

Ciao, Thorsten
