This dmesg seems to be 6-byte file consisting of "dmesg\n" ...

I'm probably just really blind but I don't see how that specific commit 
may have made any difference. It _is_ in the exact spot which would fix 
that overlap problem of yours but this should be an identity change as

(Is this racing with anything?)
