It certainly is ... no-one's watching the bugzilla, so if it's not
sending the email, the bug reports will just be getting dropped.   I've
cc'd Natalie to see if she can investigate the problem.

Not since Leonard Zubkoff, I'm afraid, no.

Um, are you sure about that?  The kernel source has these particular
lines enclosed in

#ifndef CONFIG_SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT 
...
#else
print the message you see
#endif

So that symbol has to be defined somewhere, somehow.

Could you do a 

grep -r SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT .

In your kernel build and see what turns up?

Thanks,
