[grsec] grsecurity 2.1.10 released for Linux 2.4.34/2.6.19.2

[John Logsdon]

I am puzzled.  

In the latest patch (grsecurity-2.1.10-2.6.19.2-200701151353.patch just
downloaded) I don't see these lines at all.

Has the correction been made to the patch?  

ie should min_t not have been changed to min anyway?

Sorry for my confusion but the response was rather ambiguous whether 

(a) the kernel shouldn't be changed or

(b) the patch shouldn't be changed.

:)

Best wishes

John
