This email lists some known regressions in 2.6.19-rc6 compared to 2.6.18
with patches available.

The first issue (for an unknown it never occured before - is seems some
random Kconfig change has triggered this latent bug) seems to have the
potential of affecting more users.

The second issue is so exotic that I wouldn't have listed it if there
was no patch, but considering that the patch looks safe I don't see why
this regression shouldn't be fixed in 2.6.19.
