Sometimes, yes.  Sometimes, no.

Yes.  And this time I can actually make it public since all of the
fixes are to publicly known or non-security issues.  But this is not
always the case.

OK, given the exposure this fsave/frstor DoS has received, I am going
to release -ow2 prematurely, to be replaced with -ow3 by early July.

I am also going to let the subscribers of this mailing list test the
updated patch before I make it official:

ftp://ftp.openwall.com/pvt/linux-2.4.26-ow2pre2.diff

MD5(linux-2.4.26-ow2pre2.diff)= 25e64540a95a98f9bb3f63547fe297aa
