I will defer branching for eCos 3.0 until tomorrow morning. I've received no comments from anyone else on this issue. As things stand, I could not justify the backing out of Jifl's patch. I will therefore proceed with cutting the branch this morning. I appreciate your objections but there appears to be no middle ground here and we have to move forward... John Dallaway
