I fail to see how this was treated with less transparency than previous holes. The only difference I see is that with previous kernel security holes like the ptrace one, the kernel developers recognised the security implications of a coding bug almost immediately, whereas in this case it took quite some time. That's unfortunate, but quite understandable. Mistakes happen. Ray -- NATUURLIJK krijg je er geen signaal doorheen - het is *dark* fibre. jtv
