The errata text might have been updated, but 2.4.18-27 is much older than 
Monday.  The newest kernel is 2.4.20-18.8.  Just shortly before that there 
was a 2.4.20-13.8, but it introduced some bugs that are fixed with the -18 
release for it.  Red Hat would not make changes to the kernel without bumping 
the kernel version number.
