This is pretty weird.  Debian version 2.6.38-3 has a few bridging
changes from stable 2.6.38.3 and 2.6.38.4, but they don't look like they
would cause this.

I have apparently filed the bug against the wrong version of Debian's
kernel.  2.6.38-3 is not affected, and works as expected.  The change
was introduced in -4.  That may have been clear from the report itself,
but the report was filed against -3.  I've fixed that in the BTS.

I gathered that, and then made the same mistake in writing the above!
The version with the regression, 2.6.38-4, includes the changes from
stable 2.6.38.3 and 2.6.38.4

Ben.

We just hitted the very same problem yesterday, with debian too , BUT 
with vanilla kernels (hand compiled from GIT, with a specific config).

I can confirm that 2.6.38.5 & 2.6.38.6 have this problem, but 2.6.38.3 
works fine.

So this is not a debian specific bug as far as I can see.

Cheers,
