Don't know if the kernel upgrade specifically address anything to do with
the unmounting bug (i have my doubts as all i updated were the init scripts
and then the problem went away), but it's certainly not true to say everyone
should upgrade the kernel because of the security bug.
I don't have a modem in my PC - i have a laptop running W98 for work, and
use that instead. Therefore, as the Linux box is never connected to anyone
except itself, this means no security threat !!

Okay, i haven't read the updates page - but didn't the unmount problem go
away after just upgrading the initscripts ??
