I have patched the system. I'll let you know if I get the
same problem. Since I can't reproduce it on demand I may not see
the problem for months. I don't know what happened the other day
when it just started to happen repeatedly, I haven't had the issue
since.

Ahh. Well, in that case please add a printk() line so that we'll know
if it *ever* does anything!  Updated patch attached.

Cheers
