One other thing -- it doesn't seem particularly correct to me to just

Sure, and 2.6 indeed returns ENAMETOOLONG.  I was just trying to close
the problem and not change the functionality in 2.4.  If the consensus
is that we should change it to return an error, I can certainly cook
up patches for that.


Understand.  I would recommend that the 2.4 kernel be modified to return
an error, since we are already modifying the area anyway.

   Thanx...
