I think the problem is that the driver in the linux kernel is broken. I
recompiled to use modules and downloaded the module from scyld.com, and
it fixed it. I think I remember Don Becker saying something to the
effect that he won't support the module distributed by Linus, which may
be why he hasn't weighed in on this.

I hope that helps.

No problem.

Actually, I hope you don't mind, but I am going to cross post this to
tulip-ml. You're not the first person to email me about this, so I think
it's something that should be in the archives.

Another lesson we should have learned from the recent past is that the
development of "richer" or "more powerful" programming languages was a
mistake in the sense that these baroque monstrosities, thes
conglomerations of idiosyncrasies, are really unmanageable, both
mechanically and mentally.
