This is a reply I got on the old Linux PPC mailinglist last year
(from Gerard Guevel [gguevel@interfaceconcept.com])

According to my records the patch was by Jean-Denis Boyer, 05 Jun
2003.

I never saw this problem after installing this patch.

I can confirm this, too.

Steffen: this is PatchSet 251 (Date: 2004/06/07 20:05:39) in our  CVS
tree.

Best regards,

Yes, it's a technical challenge, and  you  have  to  kind  of  admire
people  who go to the lengths of actually implementing it, but at the
same time you wonder about their IQ...
