RedHat has patches from 4.3 to 4.3.7 on their FTP site.
I've tried to apply these 'rhmask' patches, but have been unsuccessful.
There is an incompatibility between rhmask and Debian's md5sums (I think).
If anyone has gotten rhmask to work, please let me know. I don't want to
install RedHat just to upgrade... or if anyone can upgrade 4.3-developer,
I'd really appreciate it.
