It seems God hates me or something: 5 minutes after sending out
linux-0.11 I found a bug. This one also explains why corsini has had
problems with uemacs: I had the meaning of ISIG reversed in the kernel.
Happily the bug is not very important, and correcting it breaks /my/
version of uemacs, but I'm a bit shamefaced.

The bug is in linux/kernel/char_drv/tty_io.c: search for the line
containing "if (!L_ISIG" and remove the incorrect "!". I'll make a new
kernel binary available, as well as a new uemacs. Hopefully nobody ever
even gets to see the bad versions.

I guess we'll have to rename the system: wirzeniu already suggested the
name "buggyx" :-)

Linus

PS. Apologies to corsini for thinking he did something wrong.
