with the release of -rc7 i was starting to wonder what had happened to this bug,
i'm not affected by it(other hardware) but from what i gather it's a serious problem?
i have always wondered what people affected by this find if they revert the
"memory allocation optimization" patch
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=da99c4b6c25964b90c79f19beccda208df1a865a
apologies if this is a too random stab in the dark, just sounds like we might want to fix this
before .27. And since there seems to be no git bisects that pinpoint the problem ..
i figured i might as well send this.
