Hmm. Is this a new problem to 2.6.29?
The patch is pretty big (certainly _way_ over the official -stable limit), and I don't know how critical or new this bug was. I doubt it has gotten much testing in the development branch either, yet.
So please convince me that this shouldn't wait a bit, or at least point me to the problem reports to convince me that the size limit should be ignored.
