There was, for a while, bogus 2.5.45 tar-balls etc created from a BK tree
that was never meant to be exported (translation: "Linus ran his automatic
release-scripts on a bad tree because he is a booger-head").

I've removed the offending files, and hopefully nobody even had time to
download them, but just in case - if you get your kernels as tar-balls (or 
as old-fashioned patches) rather than from the BK tree, and you saw a 
2.5.45, you should ignore it.

hehe - I got it from kernel.org and even sent off a one-liner against 
it to fix an error in net/ipv4/syncookies.c before I saw your mail ...

As I saw Roman`s mail about kernel conf 1.3 ("Update to 2.5.45") I thought
"Cool!" and got 2.5.45.tar.gz right away ... hehe - anyway, no harm done ... 
The image didn`t boot though, so I guess I`ll wait until
you release a _real_ 2.5.45 before doing more testing.
