I cannot answer questions about Linux -- I merely summarize the kernel
patches after reading them. I try to make them useful to everyone,
but kernel hackers should take them with a grain of salt and read the
patches themselves. The patch file is patch33.gz
- Check for opening a CD-ROM file for writing added to CD-ROM drivers.
- Addition for selection: xterm like mouse click reporting
- If someone is executing off a virtual inode, be sure to put the
changes back after running it.

- Added check for uninitialized timer being deleted.
