	Correct, I believe that this is still an issue.

	IMO, it would be better to make the changes so that the kernel 
components of vinum are built with debugging turned on, so that they 
are compatible with the userland components.

	For someone that is working with vinum in this period of time, 
and contemplating using it as a built-in part of the kernel, I do not 
believe that this would be too hard.


	Of course, I would not do this on a normal basis, just during the 
current difficulties while certain bugs are tracked down and fixed.
