Hi,

I've read about the recently discovered inode counting security hole
(ugh). Perhaps its worth a quick audit to see what other counters
malicious users could overflow....??

Looking forward to 2.0.34 (with idt mem leak fix? This could be used as a
local DoS)

Chris

PS. Are any other OS's affected by this or similar issues?
