Unfortunately the particular patch from Olaf is presumably covering up another bug that other people (including Olaf) had hit. So reverting it is going to introduce a different regression. I think this particular problem has _already_ bounced back and forth once. But I haven't been keeping count as most of the relevant patches weren't cc:ed to me. -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
