Forgot to push it out in the big impact-line flamewars^W discussions

Do you think this explains the self-test lockups i reported? The 
lockups happened in the skb test, so i'm unsure. I left the 
workaround (which comments the self-test out) for the time being, 
could you check whether the config i sent works fine for you?

i added the new-style impact lines), thanks a lot Steve!
