What the hell! This should *not* happen. What did we (I mean developers) do?

??? There is a ton of bugs in that patch (see the changelogs on my site). 
Actually, it's likely you're not going to be hurt by them if you're using 
NPTL on the host (it is *hard* to get them in that case), but you'd better 
upgrade.

I have been releasing tons of updates, and even too quickly (most times I was 
not introducing new bugs, just fixing the ones I and Bodo Stroesser was 
finding) but -V1 is "a bit" old. That said, this should not happen.

Back to what? To 2.6.9-bb2 or to 2.6.9?

I'll check in these days what's going on... it was hyper-tested on 2.6.9 host 
(not by me, but I trust Bodo Stroesser normally), but not on other hosts, I 
guess.
