Due to an apparent bug with the ioctl command in 3.0, this command should not be used and was not shipped. Unfortunately, nobody seems to have thought of sending an 'errata' sheet to explain this. I rewrote the function and used it for quite a while with no problems, before the apparent bug surfaced and caused a system panic. Steve Spearman ihlpf!spear
