Thank you very much! I've just planned to look more at this code today,
and maybe try to find how your new patch copes with this problem, so
this description should be really helpful!

But, since we agree now it's a bug and regression in 2.6.24, it seems
this should be fixed as soon as possible, and since your patch isn't
probably tested enough for stable, it looks like safe bet to revert
Joonwoo's patch, at least until this all is more verified.

Regards,
Jarek P.
