Well drat.  I didn't merge the patch because it conflicts with
git-newsetup, and Peter believes that git-newsetup already contains an
equivalent fix.  Testing 2.6.22-rc6-mm1 would confirm that.  Please.

So what do we think?  Should we merge Jan's patch into 2.6.22?  And 2.6.21?
And do we feel that it is safe enough for this?

Or can we afford to leave this bug in place in 2.6.22, which would suck a
bit?
