Run it on a different OS? The machine is dual-boot Gentoo/XP but your |
| 24 |
site doesn't seem to have an updated Windows version. (Unless it's not |
| 25 |
in the win32 directory.) |

I presume you did not mean 'different kernel' as your assertion is |
| 28 |
that the bug is long-standing and therefore will be in other kernels. |

How do I run in another OS? Build recent source under Windows and |
| 31 |
somehow run it there? I'm up for trying that but I'm not a developer, |
| 32 |
don't have a Win 32 compiler, and wouldn't know where to start. Does |
| 33 |
gcc run under Windows? Could I compile in Linux for Windows and test |
| 34 |
the drive under Windows that way? |

Thanks! |
