Hi,

Linus merged a better patch for this here:
http://linus.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/cset@1.1396.4.1?nav=index.html|ChangeSet@-3w
or here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/cset/cset-rddunlap@osdl.org%5Btorvalds%5D|ChangeSet|20031105003235|06865.txt


If you could test that patch, or just the latest patched version,
and let us know if there is still a problem, that would be Good.

Thanks,
