"spherical form, it will have a sharp resonant peak related to the diameter of the sphere"
Every singel enclosure have a resonance frequency! So the resonant peak is represented even if you build a enclosure shaped like Linus Torvald. Unless you build it VERY big then the peak will be outside och the frequency range you can hear.
2.4.11 had a fix for a symlink DoS attack, but sadly that fix broke the
creation of files through a dangling symlink rather badly (it caused the
inode to be created in the very same inode as the symlink, with unhappy
end results).
Happily nobody uses that particular horror - or _almost_ nobody does. It
looks like at least the SuSE installer (yast2) does, which causes a nasty
unkillable inode as/dev/mouse if you use yast2 on 2.4.11.
("debugfs -w rootdev" + "rm/dev/mouse" will remove it, although I suspect
there are other less drastic methods too if your fsck doesn't seem to
notice anything wrong with it. Only one report of this actually happening
so far).
So I made a 2.4.12, and renamed away the sorry excuse for a kernel that
2.4.11 was.

2.4.12 is out! But the parport is broken in it.
