Hello to all of you!

Despite the remaining problems I decided to release version 1.1.1 while CeBIT
is still on. Hopefully, it will work for most users.

During the next weeks we can try to figure out what exactly is going wrong and
provide a bugfix. Until then I will try to collect all bug reports with system
logs etc., so that we might find a common pattern.

The main problem still seems to be the stack, which is filled but not freed
during init. As soon as it is full, the next allocated variables or procedure
return values will be bogus and everything blows up. I'd be specially
interested in the 'free stack' values of the crashing kernel threads (SysRQ-T),
which are probably very low, e.g. <100 Bytes. My test systems usually show ca.
200-300 Bytes of free stack after loading all lists, while the stack is 8192
Bytes.

As usual, the official announcement will be delayed for some days so that you
might find more showstoppers and make me take it back.

Amon.
