Subject: perfctr-2.6.36 released

Version 2.6.36 of perfctr, the Linux performance monitoring
counters kernel extension, is now available at the usual
place: http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/2.6/

Important bug fix for users of recent Core2-based processors,
requiring an update to the kernel driver.

Version 2.6.36, 2008-10-19
- Fixed a driver error which caused Intel Family 6 Model 23
  processors to crash kernels with general protection faults
  if the fixed-function counters ran in interrupt-on-overflow
  mode. Older Intel Family 6 Model 15 processors tolerate the
  error which is why it was not detected before. Thanks to
  Mark Krentel for reporting the problem and for facilitating
  tests that allowed the cause of the problem to be identified.
- Updated kernel support: 2.6.27, 2.6.26, 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5
  (RHEL5), 2.6.9-78.0.5.EL (RHEL4).
