The stock kernel for 9.04 has the patch - I believe it was added by Ben Collins.
The mainline kernel has dropped the patch for some time now.
The kernel for 9.10 will be droppind the patch.
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/395239 for more info.

Two options:
1. This to be fixed in the kernel (if it's possible) - we know that vista does not have the problem.
2. Locally compiling kernel with the patch (inconvenient)

I'll try to connect with bassl or Ben Collins to check if option 1 is possible. If not, someone should mark the bug as "Won't fix" and make a PPA with the patched kernel. But I won't have the time to do it until the end of next week.
