1) This claims to be a resend, but I don't see any previous patches
with this subject or from this email address.  Maybe the previous
posting didn't make it to the list because it ran afoul of the
mailing list guidelines at
http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html#taboo?

2) Please also use the Linux convention of putting your response
*below* the question.

3) Since you say your patch introduces another issue, I'll drop the
patch for now, and you can post a revised version when it's ready.
