Yes, thats great by me. Just use Klaus@...gen.de (without +lkml). :-)
Thanks for working on that issue.

I'd like to give it until end of the day. Then it is full 3 days.

The longest time I had it running with broken version was once over 2

However, then, I didn't give it heavy memory load.

Regards
   Klaus
