There will be no xiafx (xfs in short) patch against linux 0.99.4
because l99.3-x6.tar.Z works with linux 0.99.4.
For those who have applied l99.3-x6.tar.Z to 0.99.3, you can upgrade
to 0.99.4 by apply Linus' linux-0.99.patch4.Z.
The upgrade is strongly recommanded. The bugs in 0.99.3 crouch 
my system when compress is run, and dump core when gcc is invoked.
both compress and gcc work nicely under 0.99.2 or 0.99.4 with
xfs build in.

These is a bug in xfsck in l99.3-x6.tar.Z. Here is the fix.
