What are the oldest and newest kernels you've experienced this with
(you can get kernel versions from the string starting with "Debian" in
/proc/version, or from /var/log/dpkg.log)?  Is this reproducible with
a squeeze (2.6.32.y) kernel (or in other words, is it a regression)?

Thanks for writing,
Jonathan
