ChangeSet 1.1524, 2005/05/20 07:47:50-03:00, [email protected]

	[PATCH] random poolsize sysctl fix
	
	SWSoft Linux kernel Team has discovered that your patch
	http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4/gnupatch@41e2c4fetTJmVti-Xxql21xXjfbpag
	which should fix a random poolsize sysctl handler integer overflow, is
	wrong.
	You have changed a variable definition in function proc_do_poolsize(),
	but you had to fix an another function, poolsize_strategy()
