No, i actually was very surpised that this patch fixes it already. 2.6.x runs with HZ = 1000, but even given that jiffies shouldn't wrap around _that_ quickly that it triggers within minutes. Hmm, unless jiffies don't start at zero but somewhere near the wraparound in 2.6. That would also explain why 2.4 and 2.6 show different behaviour. Also note that on hammer long is 64bit and int is 32bit, so the type mismatch "int timeout" vs. "long jiffies" certainly leads to problems once jiffies are large enougth.
