Hello,
On Friday 23-Oct-1998 I asked the following:

My expectations were not too high. Within minutes I had answers
from:
Matt J. L. Goebel <goebel_at_emunix.emich.edu>
Whitney Latta <latta_at_decatl.alf.dec.com>
berc_at_pa.dec.com
John Speno <speno_at_isc.upenn.edu>
dsr_at_mail.lns.cornell.edu (Daniel S. Riley)
The replies essentially gave the same answer, but of course Lance Berc
had the best information:
> A fix for the mrouted panic was submitted to the 4.0e pool

I got the patch kit on Monday afternoon, and I have now been running
with my new kernel several hours. And, it works! Thanks everybody!
