Hmm...I can't see anything like this on my current avr32-arch branch,
but I think I mistakenly pushed out some unfinished code about a week
ago and rewound it shortly afterwards. If Andrew pulled during that
window, I guess it must have made it into -mm :-(

But thanks for testing and for providing a fix. I'll check the code
that I was working on and apply the patch if it's still broken.
