hi

So far I've implemented:

	o	*at syscalls, both linuxulator and native version, this is in very late stage
		of review

	o	epoll, this is very simple but it needs some testing, I consider it basically finished

	o	futexes, finished, some rough edges

	o	inotify, wont happen. on the other hand I am helping a little with userspace
		implementation of this and I guess it can be ported to kernel quite easily
		once done properly in userland

I talked with kib@ and we agreed that I'll spend rest of the summer hunting down
problems with Linuxulator. The current known problems (to me) that I consider important
can be seen at:

	www.vlakno.cz/~rdivacky/problems

These days I am trying to use some nice patches from PRs which could help a little. I created
a new p4 branch to try out various fixes so hopefully things will move on.

please tell me what other serious problems are you aware of with regard to Linux 2.6. and as
usually testing is more than welcome ;)

thnx

Roman Divacky
