There were several idiotic things like this: -/****************************** +/***************************** because part of it was apparently generated with some overly stupid search-and-replace. So when replacing "/**" with "/*", it also just removed a star from those boxed-in comments. In the process that thing also made some of those boxes no longer aligned. Now, box comments are stupid anyway, but they become truly mind-bogglingly pointless when they are then edited like this. I've pulled this, but dammit, show some amount of sense. We shouldn't have this kind of pointless noise in the rc series. That pointless noise may now be hiding the real changes. Linus
