Hey David, this patch fixes one of the bugs listed in 2.6.22-rc5 list. Jay submitted last week but it hasn't made it upstream. - 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/
