Yes! The patch above fixes the problem, and doesn't appear to cause any regression on my other systems. Thanks Vivek and Segher! I guess we now want to push this patch upstream rather sooner than later, and at any rate before 2.6.20 final is released. Eric, can you please review the patch, and if it looks OK to you, sign it and send it to Linus?
