[Nut-upsdev] a nasty kernel oops

[Knight, Dave]

Actually, I was thinking more of a change in the way a kernel function
behaves.  However, never having looked at the NUT code, I defer to anyone
who has.  I agree that the -D flag on the kernel routine "should" only
affect timing.

FWIW, the discussion at:

  http://osdir.com/ml/monitoring.nut.devel/2008-01/msg00038.html

may be relevant.
