Stable kernel 2.6.19.1 released

The first stable update to 2.6.19 is out. It has a fairly long list of fixes, a couple of which are security-related. Interestingly, it seems that the fix for the core dump vulnerability, applied in 2.6.17.4, did not really fix the problem; hopefully the 2.6.19.1 version will be more successful. (Update: it appears that the original fix was correct; instead the problem was reintroduced in 2.6.19-rc1.)
