Negatory on that, Willy!

Here is what I have verified:
At kernel.org:/pub/linux/v2.4

file: patch-2.4.34.3.bz2 has the corruption at line 213:
goto errout

That is where that came from, when I patched my 2.4.34 to arrive
at 2.4.34.5, before applying the 2.4.35.rc5 patch!

That sounds wrong. To the best of my knowledge, the 2.4.35-rc5 patch
should be applied on top of 2.4.34, not on top of 2.4.34.5 ...
