This looks like an operator precedence bug introduced by
the patch.

Normally I would test this myself before sending it out, but
I can't test 2.6.27-rc1 right now on my hardware due to another
bug in the 2.6.27-rc1 tree.

Can you please try the following patch and let me know if that
fixes the problem?

Thanks,
