Linux 2.4.34-rc3

Linux 2.4.34-rc3

[Willy Tarreau]

Hi,

Two changes before -final. The first one fixes a race where
one can hit a BUG(), the second one fixes CVE-2006-4814.

-final is just a few days ahead (it scares me, I'll have to check
my scripts to ensure everything's OK). If you have important fixes
you want to see in, or if it does not work for you, please
manifest yourself.

OK, it seems that the mirroring system on kernel.org is under load,
because the files have not been mirrored yet after about 15 hours.
Even the .bz2/.sign have not been produced.

As a TEMPORARY workaround for the (very few but brave) testers, I've
put the kernels here (both 2.4.34-rc3 and 2.4.33.6) :

      http://linux.exosec.net/kernel/2.4/

It has a small pipe, but I don't expect to see many downloads anyway.
There are NO signatures on those files, so believe what you want after
the test results.

Cheers,
Willy
