No, I haven't _quite_ released it, but there's a pre-patch-2.0.32-6.gz on ftp.kernel.org that I'd really like to release as 2.0.32 tomorrow. But in order to do so, I'd like to be reasonably certain that it does indeed fix the problems that people have had with debuggers etc with the previous Pentium bugfix patches. Thanks to Hans Lermen for looking into all the ugly details on finding where the instruction actually is..
There may well still be some problems hiding somewhere, but I suspect many people will be happier with an official 2.0.x release that fixes both the Pentium bug and the network fragment bug even if there are small details with the Pentium bug that may need looking into. For an ISP, strange corner-case behaviour (if there is any) is still a lot better than a dead machine.
Thanks to everybody who has helped with the Pentium bug fixing effort by testing. I hope you can find the time to check this (hopefully last) patch out,
Linus
