Why on earth do we have a patch for systemd that is 13786 lines long?
The comment says "Fixes security and usability issues discovered since
release." To me NOT making a new release is the mark either lazy or
incompetent program management. </rant>

It's a fast moving target. I can have three patches (one a significant
chunk of the big one) and two seds, or one big patch and one sed (we
don't need that in BLFS). That's what the distributions are using now
it seems as they are all stable backports from the next version.

Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
I'm going to attempt to see if I can make it smaller.
The current patch is too big to view in Trac, and I've received a couple
reports (one of which I have verified on my -dev system) that it's
causing stability problems, the exact opposite of what it's intended to
do. For reference, the patch causes a problem with BPF filters in the
kernel, one of the things that it was supposed to fix. Without the
patch, my system does not crash regarding BPF filters.
I think I have a mail from Spiky in my GMail account about another
problem as well. I'll have to check when I get a graphical browser that
isn't links installed. I'm lucky links even lets me use this ;-) - but
we were talking about removing alpine, so I'm better off not even
installing a text based mail client. I refuse to use mutt.
I also know this patch isn't in BLFS yet. I'm looking into what I can do
for that, although it's going to be probably 36-40 hours before I can
commit anything, assuming my system wants to cooperate with me. I'm
putting at least the BLFS port in the top of my queue for tasks right
now. We've got to get this solved.
