Hey Nick!

 > That seemed abnormally quick.

Not really.  According to kernel.org;

mainline:   6.13          2025-01-19
stable:     6.13.1        2025-02-01

I haven't had a chance to check.  It just so happened to present itself
(6.13.1) when I was upgrading one of the four machines I am working on.  So
far twon of them are both running 6.12.11 since 6.12.12 hadn't presented
itself until yesterday, which was after I upgraded them to 6.12.11.  I still
have one more machine to get up to date, and it will probably be a 6.12.12
kernel which is listed as 'stable'.

Just the luck of the draw is all ... I think.  We'll see but so far that
particular machine is behaving itself.  "Little Mikey's Brain", the fidonet
node is showing;

 :r /proc/version
Linux version 6.12.11 (root@itsii) (gcc (GCC) 14.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils)
2.43.1) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jan 30 08:22:25 UTC 2025

That kernel was released on 23-Jan-2025 whereas 6.12.12 is showing 01-Feb-2025
which is two days after I upgraded that machine.

Life is good,
Maurice
