Thanks for the update, Andreas. Hope you're feeling better.

I know others have said this (with varying degrees of politeness), but I think nearly all of us would greatly appreciate a release of 1.31 Linux server with the new merged codebase, including whatever bugs you've got.

Keep in mind we would all be able to identify and troubleshoot bugs that might otherwise not be identified, helping make sure a Linux 1.4 is as good as it can be.

Besides, I think most of us wouldn't mind dealing with some new bugs, if it means some old ones might be gone.

thanks!
