Hi David

2.6.29 also does not work.

The guilty patch should be between 2.6.29-rc8 and final 2.6.29

even more narrow - 59fcbdd..v2.6.29

I can try to bisect.

I bet it is the problem we are discussing here:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123789980524715&w=2

Herbert has posted two patches to try and fix this issue,
you can try the second one to see if it solves your bug
too.
