Subject: Re: [PATCH] fix typo "kernal" -> "kernel"

seems to be the same. To be pedantic,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KERNAL

The KERNAL was known as kernel[1] inside of Commodore since the PET
days, but in 1980 Robert Russell misspelled the word in his notebooks
forming the word kernal. When Commodore technical writers Neil Harris
and Andy Finkel collected Russell's notes and used them as the basis
for the VIC-20 programmer's manual, the misspelling followed them
along and stuck.[2]

;-)
Thanks,
