That's awesome. :)  Does 2.6.20-1 reproduce the bug, too?

That range points to

  * NET: Add preemption point in qdisc_run (CVE-2008-5713)

which is commit v2.6.25-rc9~99^2~24 (2008-03-28) upstream as the
triggering change.  Old kernels can be found at
http://snapshot.debian.org/ if you are curious about how any
particular one behaves.
