There is an open sourced version of cscope released under a BSD license at http://cscope.sourceforge.net/ ...

I just tried it with the open sourced cscope, and it works on that line just fine. It (the cscope) still needs a little work in some areas, but it seems fairly decent to me.

You can submit a kernel patch if you think it'll get accepted... it's a trivial enough hack... but no guarantees.

Try using the open source cscope... this isn't a bug there, and if you do run into any, you can always email me (or submit to cscope's sourceforge site) patches to it.
