The new kernel in Planet Edge is 2.4.23 and thus is inmune. You can
upgrade now if you add the proper incantation to sources.list. See: 

http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2003-December/003492.html

It will hopefully be in the normal repository by tomorrow. There is also
a version of the newest RedHat kernel with capabilities in Planet Edge
that has this bug fixed.
