I've tested the following kernels:

 unmodified - as shipped (recompile for control purposes)
 reverted - Linus's patch reverted (so using > TASK_STOPPED)
 removed - That check removed entirely.

The results (and what I expected) are as follows:

 Kernel | Result | Expected
 unmodified | FAIL | FAIL
 reverted | PASS | FAIL
 removed | PASS | PASS

I'm rather surprised; it appears that reverting Linus's patch actually fixes the problem; I do not understand why yet.

I am recompiling again to make damned sure I got the test right, and didn't copy over the top of it, or something.
