    Just a small nitpick...

    Can you please drop the "- exploit attempt" from the error? Buffer
    overflows aren't always exploits.

    I already have a problem with jumpy users to blame everything on "hackers"
    I'd much rather have someone qualified come to that conclusion rather than
    the kernel making a bad guess at it.
