Just re-sending this from the Debian User's list.... FYI
 - originally from: "Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@???>"
 - this email with the perl script....
      (I'll post that one here too)

Attached, you will find a perl script that can help detect if your
system is affected or not. Many thanks to Uwe Kleine-König for
suggesting, and writing this script.
