Bluescreen (bluescreen303) wrote : fix for kernel bug 16315 does not work for ubuntu

A bug affecting wine (most notably WoW) users was introduced somewhere after 2.6.32
A fix was found, which has been merged into 2.6.35-rc4.

See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16315

I'm running lts-backport-maverick, giving me:
linux-image-2.6.35-7-generic_2.6.35-7.11~lucid1

In the git repo, I can see the fix is included in this kernel version.
(commit# a1e80fafc9f0742a1776a0490258cb64912411b0)

However, running the small test program given on the kernel bugzilla page, still segfaults.

So it appears that the ubuntu kernel behaves a bit differently compared to vanilla and the problem still persists.
