Here is a somewhat simplified version of my previous patch with
updated comments.

Attached is also a new small user-space test program which does not
depend on any special gcc features and should trigger the problem on all
machines.


I already have a version of the patch in my queue, but it's not a strict bugfix so it's only for after 2.6.14.

I see, many thanks.

Please note that your current version could waste 16-bytes for unneeded alignment, while my new version does not. Not a real problem, but still things like these should be done right.
