Here is an example my tools found yesterday 18 months ago someone with a specific printer reported doing network printing to it crashed the kernel. Lost in the noise, filed in bugzilla, categorised mentally at the time as "weird". Not long ago a second identical report popped up. Different setup, same network printing, similar "it reboots" report. So now I've gone chasing tcpdumps from these. Its a *different* thing to the kind of patch management you are doing, but its only possible because of tools like bugzilla - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
