do you or anyone know if this kernel has the memory page/reiser problem?

2.6.17-vs2.0.2.1-gentoo also compiled with 2006.1 profile, gcc4.1.1 and the 
new glibc

i have it installed for vservers in case i need an emergency server to add but 
it will normally not have guests installed. this machine is an x86 4xp3 
machine being set up as our NAS backup storage server (also running reiser on 
lvm2).

"...and the hordes of M$*ft users descended upon me in their anger,
and asked 'Why do you not get the viruses or the BlueScreensOfDeath
or insecure system troubles and slowness or pay through the nose 
for an OS as *we* do?!!', and I answered...'I use Linux'. "
