Should be fixed in 2.1.12 (fingers crossed).

Oh, would somebody care to check out the new 1.06 Quake/i386 release? Does
it give comparable performance as the previous release? Do things actually
work? It's on ftp.cs.helsinki.fi:pub/Software/Linux/Kernel/testing, but I
hope somebody will mirror it. I haven't really had time to test it, and
I'm not going to take the time either as I'm still supposed to do my
thesis..
