148218 2003-05-29 05:16:00 So?

Doubtless there will be a fix coming very quickly. Noone claims that there are no bugs in Linux, even in the kernel. But once they are found and fixed, they stay fixed, through following releases.

I would guess that this bug doesn't affect many people. If it did, it wouldn't be there. :D
