[s-t] How a backdoor in the Linux kernel was thwarted (fwd)

[Spastic Mutant]

Forwarded around quite a bit - I thought I'd pass it on and maybe some of
the more Linux-involved s-t'ers can confirm or deny the story.  I didn't
see it on /., but I vaguely recall reading someplace random that the 2.6
CVS kernel tree was temporarily out of service last week, though I don't
remember exactly the reason.
