I have just run into this bug with a user who has the the stable 3.2 series in 12.04 (32 bit, all updates applied: can't immediately confirm their kernel version but it is the the 3.2.x).

I am wondering if anyone has any info on if the 3.5 series (package in precise to provide this: linux-image-generic-lts-quantal) has the same issue or not? Reading the other links above, I am not able to understand if this may be a relatively "safe" update this user can apply to address the problem.

Otherwise, it seems work is going on for an update to the 3.2 series?

Thanks again to Chris and others here for the work in finding the problem. Any help for how to practically (and simply) make a recommendation to a non-tech user on how to solve the problem ("wait" or "update to quantal kernel, etc.) would be greatly appreciated.
