Can somebody who saw the problem in the first place please verify?

OK.  I took the three commits:
4ceb5db9757aaeadcf8fbbf97d76bd42aa4df0d6
f33ea7f404e592e4563b12101b7a4d17da6558d7
a68d2ebc1581a3aec57bd032651e013fa609f530

I back ported them to the SuSE SLES9SP2 kernel.  I will add them at
the end so you can tell me if I messed things up.  I was then able
to run the customer test application multiple times without issue.
Before the fix, we had never acheived three consecutive runs that did
not trip the fault.  After the change, it has been in excess of thirty.
I would say this has fixed the problem.  Did I miss anything which
needs to be tested?

Great, thanks for the testing, the set of patches you tested is correct.

(I think there is one minor anomaly in your patch backport, which has no
effect on the validity of your testing: you've probably ended up with two
separate calls to set_page_dirty in your follow_page, because that moved
between 2.6.5 and 2.6.13.  It doesn't matter, but you might want to tidy
that up one way or the other if you're passing your patch on further.)
