[NOTE: This most likely is the last summary report of post-2.6.37 regressions introduced during the 2.6.38 development cycle.

If any of them have been fixed already, please let us know. If you know of any other unresolved post-2.6.37 regressions, please let us know either and we'll add them to the list. Also, please let us know if any of the entries below are invalid. Each entry from the list will be sent additionally in an automatic reply to this message with CCs to the people involved in reporting and handling the issue.
