"This bug has been fixed in kernel version 2.4.23 for the 2.4 tree and 2.6.0-test6 kernel tree. For Debian it has been fixed in version 2.4.18-12 of the kernel source packages, version 2.4.18-14 of the i386 kernel images and version 2.4.18-11 of the alpha kernel images." ... What confuses me, is that my default install of MDK 9.2 shows kernel version: 2.4.22-10 But MDK says 9.2 is safe.

Note the "-10" on the end. That is not a stock 2.4.22; it is their modified version of it. I don't know enough about Mandrake to say for sure about them, but this sort of thing often means that they've got their own package of favorite kernel mods and need a while to integrate it into a new kernel release, so the quickest way to respond to a problem is to manually put the fix for it into their current kernel, rather than instantly switching to the new kernel.
