I encountered this exact problem some time ago. Some discussion but in the end the problem was blamed on rsync and nothing came of it. I'll post an URL to the thread later on when I have the time to dig it out. I could swear that during early 240-testX this was not a problem, but when I finally made a report about it and tried to go back through earlier kernels, I could not reproduce. Also, this is not reproducable under 2.2.X (for me, at least). Regards, Rasmus
