I'm reassigning this bug to the debian kernel package, so it can be properly fixed.The mysterious Chiaki-bug, eh. The patch looks good to me and I notice that it has been included upstream. I will put it into SVN and it should appear in the next kernel-source-2.6.9 release. Thanks to all involved
Thank you for your help. Yes, now I understand that coping with this from userland is almost impossible as mentioned by Marco d'Itri. I hope that Debian's release of 2.6.9 (should Debian decide to release 2.6.9.) incorporates this and other critical bug fixes. One of these days, because of the quick 2.6.x series releases to fix bugs and incorporate features (in my eyes), you may be better off waiting for 2.6.10, and then 2.6.12, and 2.6.14, etc.. Those early odd numbered and even numbered minor release number lost the meaning for distribution maintainers, eh? -- int main(void){int j=2003;/*(c)2003 cishikawa. */ char t[] ="<CI> @abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.,\n\""; char *i ="g>qtCIuqivb,gCwe\np@.ietCIuqi\"tqkvv is>dnamz"; while(*i)((j+=strchr(t,*i++)-(int)t),(j%=sizeof t-1), (putchar(t[j])));return 0;}/* under GPL */
