Stock kernel with no 3rd party modules.

That's a different thing.  My machine in question has no wifi and no X.

I'm now running that version too.  I guess I'll have an idea of how good it is 
in about 9 days time.  Of course there is the possibility that the memory 
leak was triggered by some sort of DOS attack in which case the attacker 
might just target someone else's machine and mine might stay working even 
with a buggy kernel.  :(
