This one has a interesting history in CVS:

revision 1.21
date: 1999/07/26 19:42:43;  author: harald;  state: Exp;  lines: +84 -82
The remaining R3000 changes. From now on the CVS will be R3000 aware. R3000
Indigo anyone? :-)

which re-establishes a bug which was fixed by:

revision 1.16
date: 1998/08/28 23:24:03;  author: tsbogend;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2
fixed MAP_NR() second try:-(

which I introduced in:

revision 1.15
date: 1998/08/25 09:21:59;  author: ralf;  state: Exp;  lines: +148 -70
 o Merge with Linux 2.1.116.
 o New Newport console code.
 o New G364 console code.

which got fixed by:

revision 1.13
date: 1998/07/13 23:28:18;  author: tsbogend;  state: Exp;  lines: +1 -1
fixed physical mapping

So the original bug is probably as old as the MIPS port itself ...

Ouch.
