I am not sure this should be debated here, but I totally agree with Ken,
I see fix released but have been unable find it anywhere.
Personally my system seems to be OK but until I am satisfied 340 is the
end of the story I still follow this bug.

Having been an advocate for Linux for more than 15 years it is a shame
to see the standard apparently declining.
