Wow!
It'd be interesting to see a recent follow up analysing
how many issues have been fixed in the 2+ years since that
rather elderly kernel (2.6.15.4 = 10th Feb 2006).
Given that they state in that paper that they performed the same
analysis on a 2.4 kernel and the proportion of these errors was about
the same, I would be willing to bet the answer to that question is
"Not many, and there are probably plenty of new ones to counteract
those which *have* been fixed"
