Cancel my question above.  It makes no sense.

Last week the problem disappeared as mysteriously 
as it appeared a year or so back.  Ie. the non-Linux 
client can again send messages by SMTP and files 
by FTP with no problems.  Consistent with your 
comments above, ifconfig now reports MTU:1500.  
Presumeably set by the ISP dhcp server.

So I should check that the non-Linux system really 
is setting the DF bit.

Thanks,           ... p. crawford

It works for me, though I have to run "umask 022" first due to a
separate bug in the deb-pkg rule.

Is /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30 on a local filesystem or NFS?

There are several references to /usr/src/linux/debian/linux-image-2.6.30
in your bug report.  Is this a different directory or is one of these a
sym-link to the other?

Please can you run:
    make
    strace -f -e execve,chdir,chmod,fchmodat -o deb-pkg.strace make deb-pkg
and send back the file "deb-pkg.strace".  The second command should be
run as root, not using fakeroot.

Ben.

If at first you don't succeed, you're doing about average.

Please report this upstream at <http://bugzilla.kernel.org>, then let us
know the bug number so we can track its progress.

When you say "always", do you mean you have seen this problem with
earlier kernel versions as well?

How are you invoking wpa_supplicant?  Do you use a front-end such as
network-manager or wicd?
