0.95a is a great improvment over 0.95.  As far as I know, it fixes
the hd and fd problems, and some other general problems.  However
there are still some known problems:

  - DO NOT use the extended partition code.  It apparently
        miscalculates the locations of the logical partitions.
        My attempt to use it caused me to overwrite other
        partitions.

  - The serial support still has some problems with KA9Q.  In
        general it works better than 0.12, but it has one serious
        bug that 0.12 did not have:  If you do an FTP in one
        console, and in the other console start up Emacs, the
        serial line goes into a mode where KA9Q will no longer
        work, until the next reboot.  Presumably there are things
        other than Emacs that will do this, but it does it
        consistently, at least after a couple of uses.  Oddly
        enough the serial line still works fine for Kermit.
        But for KA9Q, it drops incoming bytes.  Interestingly,
        it worked fine on all the beta versions of 0.95a (I
        was a beta tester), but some change made between the
        final beta test and the release broke serial support.
        (This just goes to show the old adage:  DON'T CHANGE
        ANYTHING BETWEEN THE LAST BETA AND THE FINAL RELEASE!!)

  - gdb still gets "Strange things happen" and exits when
        stepping through some code.  At one point Linus believed
        this was a kernel problem.  I don't know whether he still
        does.
