That not only compiled, but it cleared the error as well. Additionally,
I used to see a bit of a delay receiving the login prompt when first
connecting to the box by ssh. That delay is gone with this patch. I'd
guess that the warning wasn't quite as innocuous as I thought.
Note: tested on 2.6.32.4. I'll leave this up for a bit before
attempting to move back to head.
