I want to cry :'-(

Not anything to do with you. I have a set of fixes that I have queued that
requires a ~13 hour test to run before I push off to Linus. When it was
almost done, I discovered another bug. Fixed it. Killed the almost completed
running test, and restarted it for another 13 hour run. I woke up this
morning happy to see that it passed, but then found your patch.

Wash, rinse, repeat! :-p

Thanks, looks good and I'll apply it. (and start up my 13 hour test again!)
