Not AFAIK.
 From the comments in the original post I saw, it looks like Trond did 
produce a similar patch, but I couldn't see anything when I was looking 
for a resolution to our problems. Perhaps it's worth waiting for more 
confirmation that this is
a) harmless in all cases, and
b) fixes the problems being seen
before trying to get this pushed up. I freely confess that I don't know 
enough of this code at this level to feel confident beyond "it works 
well for us".
