Problem is that Wim doesn't apply patches to a tree which gets exposed
to -next. I'll have to discuss with him how to change that. The tree
has been exposed to 0day for quite some time, though, which did not
report any errors (nor did my own build tests). No idea how both me
and 0day missed all those problems.

Sorry :-(
