Ingo has written about such possibility. But, it would be good
to know which precisely place is to blame, as well. Since this
diagnosing takes time, I think Chuck is right, and maybe at least
this temporary patch for resend.c without this warning, should
be recomended for stables (2.6.21 and 2.6.22)?
