Since his claimed to fix something else along with this problem, I just applied his. Also, please don't refer to commit IDs directly, especially ones that aren't already in linux-2.6. Instead, please refer to the patch subject. If the commit is already in linux-2.6, then a short reference to the commit ID is acceptable. John -- John W.
