Thanks for the information, Jonathan.  I'm afraid I don't know much about
git, and my ignorance is showing.  What I do know how to use is the
Linux cross reference at http://lxr.linux.no/+trees, and by using that
it appears that this bug, in some form, goes all the way back to day 1.
All supported stable kernels will no doubt contain the bug, though the
line numbers in the patch may need to be adjusted from one release to
the next.  It is a very simple one-line change.

So, stable, I hereby respectfully request that the above-mentioned bug
fix be backported to the supported stable kernel releases.  Personally,
I am most interested in the 2.6.32 kernel, as that is the basis for
Debian Squeeze.
