Following a recent discussion on -stable, I've got a revised entry for
the signal 11 section in the FAQ, and I'm asking for a bit of
feedback, I've not cc'd to -stable for fear of things getting out of
hand, again, which is what I was hoping to avert in the future.

The reason for this change is to perhaps stem the tide of threads
that go :

<joe L user> "I got a sig 11"
<everyone else on the mailing list> "It's your hardware"

It's not always that clear cut and perhaps a clearer faq entry would
get people investigating these problems for themselves and save us all
the tedium of watching that thread every few weeks. [Yup, I'm
(ir)responsible for some of that spam as well! ]

Draft revised entry (awaiting comments) available here : 
http://www.snuggly.demon.co.uk/sig11entry.txt

I'll format it back into sgml once I've got some feedback on the
actual text.

Thanks in advance,

	Steve

P.S. If everyone thinks I'm barking up the wrong tree, just let me
know politely and I'll go back to my skulking corner!
