Hi all,
I have no time now so I look over the problem during short time
so I mighte be wrong. Even I should leave the office soon and
Korea will have long vacation from now on so I will be off by next week.
So it's hard to reach on me.
I hope this patch fixes the bug. If this patch fixes the problem
but has some problem about description or someone has better idea,
feel free to modify and resend to akpm, Please.
Thierry, Could you test below patch?
