This is probably a known problem that is already fixed in 2.6.14 :(

Yes, given the workaround it hasn't made priority for -stable.

There is a smaller workaround that is just to increase the number of symbols
used to make the compression by changing the "#define WORKING_SET". This should
be just a one liner.

The downside of the workaround would be a slightly increased compile time, but
it is not *absolutely* obvious that there are no hidden consequences as is
required for the stable series.

Anyway, since this is just a compile time bug and people compiling kernels will probably search google when this happens and find the patch themselves, I don't
think that it is serious enough for -stable, and we might as well hold on a
little more till 2.6.14 is out.
