In the meantime I've applied Tim's patch because it is definitely a step in the right direction and the current 2.6.x behavior makes no sense at all :-)
We can add a fix on top to make 2.6.x behave more closely to 2.4.x (by sharing numbers between v4 and v6). If that proves to be very difficult to do, it's not absolutely critical to preserve this behavior I think. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
