Bug#429918: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686: setuid nobody fails after a set number of calls
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2
Severity: important
The default kernel shipped with etch seems to have an issue where setuid
calls will fail after a set number of calls. This seems to happen more
with the nobody user.
