Trust those smart Germans to take up such a useful little patch - what a
useful thing for a distribution to include - no wonder I use SuSE :-)
However, I do wonder where the information is stored - is it using up
non-swappable kernel memory ? Mind you, the relevant config file on my box
gzipped is 10K - I suppose with current memory prices that's not a big
burden.
