IMHO they should go in ASAP since we know this is a regression just
introduced in 2.6.29.  To me, the fact that nobody has noticed yet
makes it more important not to delay--this new problem is so obscure
that whoever is affected by it is likely to waste a lot of time figuring
out what has started happening deep down in a huge pile of userland code.

Thanks,
Roland
