The part "The code has been this way in the kernel for a very long time, which suggests that it has been working, [...]" sounds like it is, but OTOH it's quite vague. I'm asking, because with my regression tracking work and regzbot I focus on regressions and ignore things that were always broken, as I (at least for now) don't want it to become yet another bug tracker (and I guess I would quickly drown in bugs as well). But if you think this case looks like a regression, I'll add it. Guess I just need to be creative then how to tell regzbot when it got introduced. Guess I'll settle on v2.6.13..v5.15", that should indicate there is something strange here. It's a use-case I hadn't expected. But well, that's why I wanted to something for testing. :-D Ciao, Thorsten
