[Users] Exim 4 crashes kernel on Debian Etch 64bit

[Jim Archer]

Hi Vasily and thanks very much.

I didn't realize there was a kernel package on systs.org, I have been 
manually downloading the packages and installing them with dpkg.  Which 
package do I want?  I see on your site that there is a note dated June 18th 
announcing an update of 028stab035, which is 2.6.18.  Is that it?
