I must say I don't regard the kernel as part of the distribution. The two seem orthogonal to me. It's nice to have a kernel that's supposed to work, but I always compile one as soon as I can. In your case, I would have thought that running another kernel would be very likely to help diagnose the problem. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
