Try retesting after applying update-process-times.patch (the one for the crash 
you were seeing): that patch was not merged by maintainers in mainline, 
though IIRC it was sent in the right time frame (maybe because they weren't 
marked as urgent, or because they were a lot of patches, which is also 
possible).

About this, we should try for the future (even if this one was a special case, 
having to merge tens of invasive patches for security purposes is not nice) 
to merge big things only before -rc1 and -rc2, since after those releases 
things must calm down. This recommendation must be updated with changes in 
the release cycle followed by Linus, obviously.
