Great, thanks a lot.

I have to ;)

I tried to explain this in the changelog, but once again just in case...

This patch is only for -stable. It is only needed if a) b40a7959 was
backported and b) the kernel still has PF_FREEZER_NOSIG removed in 3.3.

Alernatively, b40a7959 can be reverted. But please note that this will
just hide the problem revealed by "incomplete" b40a7959.

Oleg.
