Does anyone know exactly what this errata is? I read somewhere it's due to the call to sys_brk() in mm/mmap.c I did a search in 2.4.23/mm/mmap.c and didn't find any refererences to that. So.. It's fixed? BTW, since up2date won't be 'up2date' come april 2004, I'm wondering how we, end users are gonna know about 'servere' errattas and the where the fixes are. Anyone here can comment? I know about apt/yum but isn't that more like whatever the packager will provide? I currently am using freshrpms and dag-wieers and nyquist rpms to update.
