[SATLUG] Kernel patches

[Paul S. Bains]

Just wanted to pass on that I tested the 'unofficial' kernel patch for
the 2.6.6 series (to fix the recently reported bug), and it works fine.
I'm running vanilla kernel source compiled on a Slack 9.1 box. I
compared the official patch with one I got a day or so ago, and the
code appears to be the same. 

I compiled and ran the offending "evil" code and all I got was a series
of "*" in the terminal, as opposed to a required hard shutdown....;o)
