Comment 8 for bug 196069

This bug remains, in all respects. I tend to discuss it with various members of the kernel team 4-5 times a year. Solving it is tricky, but it will be clear when it is fixed, and a day for celegration. It affects no paritcular kernel version, but happens to affect all the kernels in dapper, hardy, intrepid, jaunty, karmic, and lucid. I belive it was introduced in Hoary or Breezy, and is a regression from Warty, but my memory is sufficiently hazy on the matter that I don't think it deserves the tag (plus creating this bug solved *heaps* of other bugs, which is a good thing).
