It does in theory. And also in practice, I have not received such
bug reports for a while now.

Please tell me more details - package source, kernel version and maybe
headers, etc.

I used the headers:

CC = gcc-$(shell grep LINUX_COMPILER $(KSRC)/include/linux/compile.h | sed 
's/.* \([0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\).*/\1/')

Windows 9x Bier:
Das neueste Bier am Markt. Viele Probetrinker behaupten, es schmecke
vorzüglich. Tatsächlich sieht es aus wie eine Mischung aus MAC Bier
und OS/2 Bier, schmeckt aber wie Windows 3.x Bier. Es wird in
32er-Packs verkauft, die allerdings nur 16 Dosen enthalten. Der
durchschnittliche Bierfreund wird wohl bei Windows 3.x Bier bleiben,
bis er am Stammtisch Freunde trifft, denen das Windows 9x Bier
geschmeckt hat. Obwohl die Herstellerfirma MS (Multi-Sauf) behauptet,
bei diesem Bier sei eine völlig neue Sorte entstanden, findet man in
der kleingedruckten Inhaltsstoffe-Liste MAC-, OS/2 und DOS
Bier-Komponenten.
