   Hey Nick!   
      
    > That seemed abnormally quick.   
      
   Not really.  According to kernel.org;   
      
   mainline:   6.13          2025-01-19   
   stable:     6.13.1        2025-02-01

   I haven't had a chance to check.  It just so happened to present itself   
   (6.13.1) when I was upgrading one of the four machines I am working on.  So   
   far twon of them are both running 6.12.11 since 6.12.12 hadn't presented   
   itself until yesterday, which was after I upgraded them to 6.12.11.  I still   
   have one more machine to get up to date, and it will probably be a 6.12.12   
   kernel which is listed as 'stable'.   
      
   Just the luck of the draw is all ... I think.  We'll see but so far that   
   particular machine is behaving itself.  "Little Mikey's Brain", the fidonet   
   node is showing;   
      
    :r /proc/version   
   Linux version 6.12.11 (root@itsii) (gcc (GCC) 14.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils)   
   2.43.1) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jan 30 08:22:25 UTC 2025   
      
   That kernel was released on 23-Jan-2025 whereas 6.12.12 is showing 01-Feb-2025   
   which is two days after I upgraded that machine.   
      
   Life is good,
