Unfortunately I know nothing about this issue beyond what's written in the above URLs -- I don't even have any machines running on a 2.6.18 kernel. This probably makes me not the best person to file a bug. But here goes anyway... The last URL above includes a link to the issue in RedHat's bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209005 Apparently they are still trying to create a good test case for it. Note that Fedora felt strongly enough about the problem that they are delaying the release of FC6 in order to fix it: http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/1668 -- Kevin B.
