Oh yeah, I actually meant to describe my system in the last email, but
forgot - opps!

I'm running Redhat 7.3, with a custom kernel (using the default
installed kernel headers - i.e. no upgrade). I would suspect that the
system is pretty 'standard'. I've installed dri drivers for my radeon ve
video card (which I  haven't got working, but thats another story), and
a couple of programs, but nothing too fancy. I have installed wine, and
winex. 

The 'good' atomic.h was in 

/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/include/asm-i386/atomic.h
and /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/asm/atomic.h

although the two files were different,
and the 'dud' was in 

/usr/include/asm/atomic.h


Does this help?
