This is a cut-and-paste nit-pick of the patch:

From:

diff -u --recursive --new-file v2.0.30/linux/Documentation/Changes
linux/Documentation/Changes

Also, the libc-5.3.x line has a known security hole relating to
rlogin. Libc-5.3.12 fixes this, so if you're going to run an
-experimental libc, be sure to upgrade to 5.3.12. Libc-5.4.10 is
-currently available as well, but it may have problems, so caveat emptor.
+experimental libc, be sure to upgrade to 5.3.12. Libc-5.4.33 is
+currently available as well, but it may have problems, so caveat

Should be "may"

From:

diff -u --recursive --new-file v2.0.30/linux/Documentation/memory-tuning.txt
linux/Documentation/memory-tuning.txt

+You can adjust these with a command such as:
+
+# echo 128 256 512 > /proc/sys/vm/freepages
+

All those echo's should be:

echo "128 256 512" > /proc/sys/vm/freepages
