I assume that 2.6.23 is not afflicted in this way?

Pierre, I can queue this up but if you merge it into your tree I shall drop
it and shall lose track of it.  So it's then all down to you to remember to
get the fix into 2.6.24.

(Except this particular bug looks like a post-2.6.23 regression, so I can cc
the Rafael which never forgets, so it will then get tracked all the way into
Linus's tree)
