[tlug] old and obscure problem with the gcc compiler

[Shawn Brown <javajunkie@example.com>]

FYI, according to http://blogs.computerworld.com/14583/fixing_linux:
"An old and obscure problem with the gcc compiler was recently
discovered to have left a security hole in essentially every version
of Linux that anyone is likely to be running."

I guess details are here http://lwn.net/Articles/347006/

It's beyond my level of understanding to know how significant this is.
 The workaround for CentOS doesn't look easy to me.  AFAICT all
kernels up to 2.6.30.2 are vulnerable.
