Hi everybody: Cut and paste is finally fixed and once again working in
the 2.6.xx kernel tree.  The problem was that in the new console code
they handle all of the keyboard functions in the actual interrupt
which caused OOPS when the race condition locking code was called to
tighten up the kernel.  After discussion on the reflector with a
number of good suggestions being proposed I decided to handle the cut
and paste functionality ourselves which makes for tighter cleaner
code.  I have also modified the 2.4.xx tree to use the same code.
