No not that.  I've been testing mint with mem protection enabled
and my client dies.  After looking over the GlueSTiK source
(and I am no "C" guru) it seems to me the CIB{} structure is
allocated with kmalloc() ?  After talking with Frank about
kernal memeory allocation this is why my client dies.
I traced the crash in my client right up to where it calls
cngetinfo() which indeed returns a pointer, but into some
block that is kernal ram?  As soon as my client attempts to
fetch the local port from this pointer I have trouble.

Am I wrong here?
