This patch is definitely needed -- it is obviously setting the wrong

odd results so far and suspect some other code may have been changed
historically to account for the wrong behaviour this bit was
causing).

We're currently on vacation for Thanksgiving over here in the USA
and I won't be back in the office til next week.

If you would, hold off on adding the patch to the stable kernel
until I have a bit more time to check out a couple of things.

As it's already in Linus's tree, one would have hoped that the patch
would have been tested already :)

I'll leave it in the stable tree, if it's a problem, please get the fix
into Linus's tree, and then have that fix submitted to the stable kernel
trees.

thanks,
