You did not comment on my remark about kbd_testc_tms being used
basically with a random start value for each invocation of a network
command. The "every second" above is wrong. The actual interval may
be much shorter (even nearly zero, at least once), or longer.
BTW: Please fix the list of mail addresses you're sending to, and
remove non-existing ones.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
