[grsec] Re: Bad EIP Value on Athalon 700

[John Logsdon]

I too have been caught out hand-editing .config files - although on this
occasion it just didn't work!  

Whenever upgrading, copying config files or whatever, I now make oldconfig
which should sort out any inconsistencies and make xconfig to view the
settings.  I haven't had any config issues since - other things are in the
hands of the operator of course...
