[1.] NTFS  routine fs/ntfs/unistr.c does not compile
[2.] NTFS  routine fs/ntfs/unistr.c does not compile: the macro
min(a,b,c)
     is not defined. Comparison with Linux 2.4.7 revealed that
     1. the pertaining line in unistr.c has changed from 2.4.7 to 2.4.9
     2. the macro definition in file fs/ntfs/macros.h for macro min()
has
        been dropped
     The solution was straight forward: add the (three-parameter) macro
     definition from include/linux/kernel.h to fs/ntfs/macros.h
     The patch is added below
[3.] Keywords filesystem, NTFS
[4.] Kernel version 2.4.9
