Eeek. Right.

I've just uploaded a new patch on top of the old one. 

Re: Linux 2.4.18-pre5

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Argh. Another mistake. 

DO NOT USE pre5: It has a "fix" from Andi Kleen for the icmp problem which
does not exist. Its really not needed and causes problems.

I'll release a pre6 now.

Shoot me.

this patch seems to be generated against pre4, not 2.4.17. just a
heads up.

Eh, it is just me or are patch-2.4.18-pre5.{bz2,gz} borked?

Patching on top of pristine 2.4.17 gives me more than a few rejects.
From ftp.kernel.org:

3c2fdf92d961145c100a99c6e3225f48  patch-2.4.18-pre5.bz2

[snip]

Something seems to be amiss with the patches on ftp.kernel.org -
the pre5-patches are much smaller than the pre4-patch (and
pre{1,2,3}).

Only about 64K - pre4 was 640 K

the two patches are not quite equivalent. if i now try to reverse the
patch i get two failures:

patching file net/ipv4/icmp.c
Hunk #3 FAILED at 495.
1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file net/ipv4/icmp.c.rej
patching file net/ipv4/ipconfig.c
patching file net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_standalone.c
patching file net/ipv6/icmp.c
Unreversed patch detected!  Ignore -R? [n] 
Apply anyway? [n] 
Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file net/ipv6/icmp.c.rej
patching file net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c

i think i'll download a pristine 2.4.17 and start again.
