Bug not in 2.6 btw
* Tue Feb 17 2004 Dave Jones <davej> - Fix leak in SSTFB driver. I assume this is fixed? By the way, would this issue be relevant to Legacy RHL 9?
Unrelated bug. Both are probably in legacy RH9. The fix for the oops on load is valid for RH9 too I would suspect
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
