Sall right. I figured it out.

Not random, hex (to keep the number of characters to a minimum).
In order. It's because I don't receive copies of my posts to
the list here, but just a "BasLinux post acknowledgement" which
includes nothing from my post except the subject. No way to tell
multiple posts to a thread apart without the added numbers.

If the acknowldegments included the message-id from my posts, I
wouldn't have to do that. Sorry.

And don't expect Xvesa to work (well) where it does! 

That's why they created the different tinyX's, after all.

I wouldn't call them "stolen", David. It's open source. No one expects
you to rewrite libc? every time you create a package. _They_ "stole" them
from uClibc, after all....
