Umm, I know for the kernel, we're supposed to use GENERIC if we want to report a bug, but I did not realize that this carries through to the userspace as well. The only reason I reported it is because I it was a bug I've never seen before, and I figured you guys might be interested.

Would have posted dmesg, but I figured it wasn't necessary. If this is not a known bug, and if there's any interest in a dmesg at all, I'll post it. Thanx. -Tai
