Sorry, can't reproduce it any more. My patch is dated June 4, so it was
probably broken then but got fixed since. I normally try to verify that
the patches are still needed before I send them, but this time I only
saw the current discussion and remembered something vague about it
and sent what I had in my backlog of the randconfig-fixes series.

Sorry for the confusion.
