That's right. Debian's 2.6.18-3, not -stable's 2.6.18.3 as Linus feared. I'll be sending 2.6.18-stable the fix to the msync ENOMEM-on-unmapped issue later today (that little buglet being what led them to integrate the much more interesting dirty page tracking patches, which happened to fix it in passing).
