Aha!  Now it makes sense.  I "see" I still have much more to learn about
"C".  ;-)  And thank you for being so gracious about explaining it without
making fun of my C ignorance, which would have been very easy for you to do.
I left myself wide open.

I am satisfied with the fix.  Thank you, Peter.  Currently, the newest
Debian kernel available (in "experimental") is 2.6.35~rc6-1~experimental.1,
so I trust it won't be too long until a kernel with this fix applied
gets uploaded.

Debian kernel team: please leave this Debian bug report open until
an official Debian kernel with this fix included has been uploaded
to the Debian archive.
