@Tim - while that's true (he also claims that his mangling
works fine with 2.6.22), note that the original patch reported in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/21/449 for this bug was from the -stable
2.6.24.4 thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/21/447; it's not
exactly clear *which* 2.6.24 kernel Arnaud tried his mangling against
when he went back to look to see where the regression was introduced.

What I'd really like is a testcase that triggers the original bug, and
then we could work from there, but I expect we're not going to get that.
