I don't fully understand the bug reporting in Ubuntu, but it seems to me that Ubuntu/Christopher require testing of every new kernel for this bug to remain valid, even if a fix has not been applied upstream. I guess there is the possibility that some random change of code has unintentionally fixed this bug.

I can't really commit to re-checking and restarting so frequently, especially since there are possible duplicates of this bug in Launchpad anyway. I expect that if this bug were targeted on the basis of one of these putatively duplicate reports, my bug would also be fixed. (Also, there is a workaround for my personal use anyway.) In addition, it seems that upstream aren't currently targeting the bug anyway, based on the bug I filed there. Also, if I understand correctly, then testing the bug to make it valid for Ubuntu/Christopher doesn't have any effect on its validity upstream.
