Dear all,

MINIX is very much alive, see http://www.minix3.org/.

I work in the team developing MINIX. Being able to exchange data between 
Linux and MINIX is very useful for us and there is no other filesystem 
that the two share. We have been aware of (and annoyed by) this problem 
for a long time, but didn't know the cause (and didn't have much time to 
check). Feiran is a GSoC student working on our project and he found the 
issue when setting up his development environment so then we decided to 
bring out a patch.

With kind regards,
Erik
