Re: New patches out for 2.2 and 2.4.

[ernst.molitor@uni-bonn.de]

Dear Alexander, 

thank you very much for your patch, which you've been so kind as to
supply faster than I could have imagined, and which works like a charm
on my Linux box. Now, both old and newly created encrypted file
systems work fine under Linux-2.4.0...

Again, thank you very much.

Best regards,

Ernst
