Hi J.D.,

Can you verify exactly what kernel version you are using?  This issue
is being discussed at:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/330824

... and one person has said it was fixed in 2.6.28-rc8, and at least
one, possibly two people have reported that it has been fixed in
2.6.29.  I think you're running some version of 2.6.28 or 2.6.28.y,
correct?

If these report is correct, the problem may be fixed already in
mainline, but I'd like to figure out *which* patch made the problem go
away, so we can get it backported into various distribution kernels
and into the 2.6.28.* and and possibly the 2.6.27.* stable series.

Thanks,

						- Ted
