The atttachments below are the only changes I needed to
make to get kdb to compile & run with toadys (2.6.3)
ameslab bk tree.

The file include/linux/dis-asm.h seems to be missing from
the ameslab tree, I'm not sure why.  I append it below.
Its a copy of this file from the 2.4 trees (which seem
to be identical).

Please apply this patch & file to ameslab.

--linas

p.s. where is the "newest" KDB ?  I found
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/v4.3
but googling KDB is such a sad experience that I'm not
convinced that something newer isn't hiding somewhere.
