I'd of course happily merge the fix which initializes the value 
properly into my tree, but I would be curious what broke it, to double 
check that we didn't break anything else along with it.

Okay, I'll get back to you in a few days :)

Hi Anssi,

Hi!

did you make any progress here please? I am going to merge the patch, 
still I'd be understand what caused it (on the other hand from Diogo's 
last comment it doesn't seem 100% certain that we cased it somewhere 
around 2.6.20).

I finally had time to bisect 2.6.20 vs 2.6.21, and for me it seems to 
start happening after commit 4237081e573b99a48991aa71364b0682c444651c:
