Re: kernel patch for "Can't open display"

[Mark <mark at yangtze dot cs dot ucdavis dot edu>]

Just so no one gets their GPL bent out of shape....  the source code to 
the "fix" is at: 

http://zambezi.cs.ucdavis.edu/~mark/fhandler_socket.cc

And as Chris said -- this is a "fix", not a patch.  As I said in my first 
message, one of the folks who really knows the kernel should really 
figure out a patch that maintains semantic correctness.
