I assume that should be 2.6.18-4...

Your best option is probably to report this issue with the upstream kernel 
developers using http://bugzilla.kernel.org/.

Make sure that you search very carefully for reports of similar issues 
before you file a bug, both in that bug tracking system and using google.

You should also try more recent available kernels before you file a BR to 
see if it has been fixed there, at least 2.6.21 (which is the current 
upstream stable release) which should be available in unstable soon.
