Hi Pavlin

still plugging away here trying to get XORP PIM working on a Fedora Core 4 
Kernel 2.6.14-1.1637 working.  I had to make some manual modifications to 
Hoerdt modified files which I will relay later to you.  But should I be 
concerned about these warnings?  By-the-by, which Hoerdt patch are you 
using 1a, 1b, 1c or 1d?  And just an FYI, we'll be testing this once we get 
a working PIM over a 6VPE (IPv6-Over-IPv4-MPLS) backbone.  thanks for the help
