What is going on this list? There are a lot of sudden bug reports :)

        Hi,

        From what I read in some of the later posts to this list, I
guess that the flood of old bug reports and comments that have
appeared consists of posts that were blocked by mailman because the
authors are not subscribed to the list. Are we still receiving so much
SPAM as some months ago? I believed the Savannah hackers had
incorporated SPAM filters to the GNU mail machines.

        Apart from other fixes that were pending before this flood, we
now have some more fixes to do. Among them, there is a serious bug
report from Mark Purcell regarding the use of asm/atomic.h. I think
this is of high priority and I will incorporate this patch if there is
no problem with removing the use of asm/atomic.h and the
HAVE_ASM_ATOMIC... defines.
