Hi, as Bart has confirmed and fixed the bug in output redirection, I suggest
that you download the fixed binary from either of:

http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/~eric/stuff/soft/by-others/ or at:
http://www.osuweb.net/~oldeman/kernel.zip

Bart, I think it saves your bandwidth if people download from my copy!?


However, I think there is ANOTHER bug in our kernel. When I try to resize
a MCB, the MCB just VANISHES !?!?

The issue: When LBAcache STOP detects that an instance cannot be removed
completely (because it cannot reconstruct the interrupt vectors), it tries
to reduce the size so that only the "interrupt chaining" part stays in RAM.
However, when this happens, with kernel 2027 in Dosemu the complete
instance is released from RAM, which will VERY soon crash your system at
the time that the next disk access occurs :-(. Luckily it happens ONLY if
you load other disk drivers after LBAcache or load TWO instances of LBAcache.

I have put a LBAcache version that works around both real/alledged kernel
bugs online. See my other mail.
