Thanks. The only reason I haven't fixed this so far is that I've
reported it twice to the kernel developers and gotten general
agreement that it's a bug. But they still haven't changed anything.
I've just re-reported it to the kernel.org bugzilla (bug 11110), so it
won't get totally lost. So your patch is OK.
