12 This is fixed in > 2.4.20-pre4-ben0 kernels, unfortuanatly there are
13 stability issues with the presently rsyncable benh tree and so we have
14 been unable to release a more up to date ppc-sources ebuild. The
15 linux-2.4.19-r6 sources are quite old now (infact they are a
16 2.4.19-pre10).

18 This passed week i have been working on a 2.4.20 ebuild (based on
19 2.4.20-pre7 that doesn't seem to have the stability issues found
20 in more recent rsyncs), this should fix your sleep problem..
21 I have been down with an almost debilating dose of strep throat and so
22 have been unable to do even the simplist things these past few days.

24 Sufice to say this is an issue we are aware of .. see:

28 and will hopefully have a fix along soon (plus a more sane model for
29 ppc-sources .. more on this later).
