Re: 2.6.20-rc4: known unfixed regressions (v3)

[CIJOML <cijoml@volny.cz>]

I all,

I can't work on this until 23.2.2007 because of  my diploma thesis.
But my opinion is - if you make a release with this bug, you'll see more 
reporters soon. It can be than fixed in 2.6.20.1 - I haven't find any data 
corruptions yet.
