Thanks for letting us know.  Indeed, that's not a surprise since the
userspace side was fixed in version 2.14.901.  It doesn't tell us
whether the kernel bug was fixed or not.

Maybe that's academic, though --- the triggering change in
xserver-xorg-video-intel seems to have been added in 2.13.903, which
is newer than the version in squeeze.

I'll wait for word from Andrew, but I'm optimistic.
