    It depends on how many warnings and debugging you have turned on, although
    it compiles fine there is a warning about cli() being used. It is buggy
    with that respect although very hard to trigger in normal use.
    What can be triggered easily is another bug in the reuse of the netdevice
    structure that happens when kissattach is killed and a new kissattach
    process is started...
    I have fixes for both that are now being tested and it looks good sofar.
