    Working on it, still poking wire A onto header JBx (my junkyard is
    awesome, but not easily managed.)  I'm lame/conservative and don't 
    YET want to use 2.4.x on a production system (so sue me).
    
    (came from the Microsoft world, where jumping on a X.0 guarenteed 
    you were screw'd)
    
    As an aside, 6:1 ain't all that bad!!  Since 10,000,000 accesses were 
    involved in my test.  If your GETUID takes 5000ms/10,000,000 and 
    proc fs accesses 30000ms/10,000,000 ... what's 3 microseconds for 
    an unusual, error case? (other than 3 usec)
    
    
    Will Report Soon on 2.4.x
