mentioned as much in the log message. This did seem to be played down
entirely too much for my liking.

On the funny side of things, the 2.6.32.8 release reads like a plot of a Monty Python skit: a security problem was fixed after intensive scrutiny, but we don't know which one it was. Hilarious! :-)
