Sorry.  I've spent no time whatsoever on tracking bugs or finding
fixes.  My kernel debugging techniques consist of remote debuggers run
ion test machines.  In order to find the bug, I would have to rebuild
the kernel with debugger information with either masm or tasm.  That
would mean I would need to rewrite the source which means I am obligated
to return it to Caldera, ...
