Yes, I did test that fix out. My machine is still up and running with no panic messages what so ever after having run the exploit code multiple times with varying amounts of file handles available from 1024 to 4096. Inodes were from 3072 to 8192. The only problem I encountered was with small numbers of file handles, the system would end up filling the file handle table up and I would get a file table overflow. That was easy enough fixed by simply killing the exploit code. With 2048 or more file handles, the exploit code that was posted had absolutely no effect on my machine what so ever.
