o signal oops
o i_count exploit

o ignore source quench and drive by the dropped frames (current "good
practice")
[Items marked "warning" indicate compiler warnings that turned out to be code
that is 'wrong' from
a perfect compiler correctness viewpoint but worked correctly before]
[Items marked "oops" fix non fatal Oops events]
[Items marked "exploit" fix something that allowed you to either crash the
machine as any user
or to get root]
