Well, it bit me.  (Actually, it STILL bites me.)  The people who "happened to
pick up that exact minor sub-revision Linux" must include everyone who
installed the source from the Slackware V2.0 distribution.  That's a pretty
big
group.  (For the record, the error message that I get is that the
"improper shutdown bit" is set and that I should run CHKDSK. 
Warp boots it without running chkdsk, so it really is okay.)

Note that this is only a problem with my new computer that has ONLY Warp
and Linux on it.  The other computer that I was using (that ran the Warp
Beta) has worked just fine with Linux reading all the partitions.
