Ted had ACKed the previous chunk of truncate changes, so that one will go
immediately once the -pre2 is on ftp.kernel.org... Aha, I see. Linus, just let
me get some coffee, finally wake up, smoke a couple of cigarettes and I'll
rediff and send it, OK?

Umm... Not exactly. What I've said was that innd was the only real-life
bug-report potentially tracable to that. I.e. it shows the same type of
behaviour.

IOW, bug in question _does_ give the same kind of behaviour, but whether
innd is hitting it or something different that happens to act like that...
The only way to know is to try it.

I'll send rediffed patch in half an hour.
Al
