The patch mentioned in commend #33 to resolve this bug is now in the upstream 2.6.31.5 stable kernel. The Karmic kernel is currently frozen for release at the moment, but we will rebase to 2.6.31.5 as a Stable Release Update for Karmic. As an interim solution, feel free to run the 2.6.31.5 mainline kernel build:
