Re: kernel warning

The 'Everything in one Part' download at http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/archives/lsm-2.4-selinux-2002102211.tgz doesn't seem to have this patch included, and the NSA site isn't very clear that the patch is required. Could we please have the patch added to the next all-in-one snapshot?
