Hi!

For some reason this did not reach me. It did not even reach my spam box.

begin  quotation  from Svante Signell (in <5edf5705148141448f28aacd058f5e51579ec6af.camel@gmail.com>):

Primarily ascii.

And this is probably the reason why this has not been seen before - I
compile my own kernel (for educational reasons primarily) from the ceres
sources.

(515) aw@anhrefn $ cat /proc/version 
Linux version 5.5.13 (aw@anhrefn) (gcc version 8.3.0 (Debian 8.3.0-6)) #2.0
SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 31 12:20:33 CEST 2020

The upgrade went smoothly. I presume the problem is only of interest for
people using a new kernel on an ascii system. I downgrade to normal - feel
free to downgrade even more. ;)
