Since you're the expert, is the current kernel fix adequate, or not? If not, what can be done to fix it?

I'm not the one claiming to be the security coding expert, but I *AM* now claiming that some of these experts are apparently an enormous pain to have to deal with.

> you decided to take it "on faith" that Andrea's patch was used by SuSE

I said that specifically *because* that was what PaXTeam claimed and *I* was giving him credit for probably being correct! I was attempting to be cordial on that point. And now you take umbrage, and try to hang me for it...

I'm done. You've successfully shouted down another inquisitor. Thanks for all your efforts with improving Linux security (sincerely; I can see you have enormous talent), but I don't need to put up with your distortions of my meaning, intent, and words.
