I just tried to use config as part of compiling a new kernel, and it complained about:

ident	N7QNM


for a kernel "name".  It came back with:

syntax error at line 11:

Nothing APPEARS to be wrong with the output files, but I decided to take no chances and used a different name WITHOUT a
numeric in the middle.  Is this really a restriction, or just a bug?

TIA!
