Thank you. At the moment, I'm inlined yo leave the manual page as it is. It currently reads: On certain systems (including x86), Linux ker‐ nels before version 2.6.12 have a bug which will produce premature timer expirations of up to one jiffy under some circumstances. This bug is fixed in kernel 2.6.12. To me that implies that the bug also affects kernels before 2.4 -- e.g., 2.4.x. Now, what would be interesting is if the bug *does* get fixed in 2.4, then I could also add a note about the 2.4.x version where it is fixed. In the meantime, I have added a note to myself (i.e., a comment in the man page source) about this point. If the bug *does* eventually get fixed in 2.4.x, and you hear of it, please do let me know. Thanks, Michael
