this is probably known already, but just in case, 2.4.14 compiling just
failed on me:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.14/arch/i386/lib'

i wanted to upgrade because 2.4.13 has been flaky. earlier today, my
system became very sloooow. i killed just about every process with no
effect. top reported that kswapd was taking 99% of the cpu.

then just a few minutes ago, my system hung (couldn't ssh in either). at
the time, all i was running was g++ and mp3blaster. wasn't even running X.

so i went to update to 2.4.14. and the compile just failed.

no big deal -- i can live with it until 2.4.15 comes out, but i thought
someone should know about this.

no response is required. i know how busy everyone here is.
