Sounds like nothing good. There's a proposed patch described at <http://bugs.debian.org/587763> but we can't apply it unless it is tested against a 2.6.32-based kernel and confirmed to fix the problem. So: - are you still interested in pursuing this?
Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce the original problem on a test system for some reason (and I tried quite hard). It only happens on one of my production servers, but I can't experiment on that one. Sorry about that. :-(
