Summary: Tested on 3.51 only!

In article <18@kenobi.UUCP> I posted a kernel patch to fix a bug in /dev/mem.
I very thoughtlessly neglected to say that this patch is only known to work
on 3.51 (or 3.51.1) of Unix.  If the driver was not changed between 3.5 and
3.51, then it should work on 3.5 as well, but I would have to disassemble
a few bytes out of the older kernel to see if the patch applies to it.

If anyone out there has a version other than 3.51 and needs this patch to
work, send me mail at the address below.
