I tested the proposed kernel on a 32-bit machine running up to date lucid after running into issues with improperly computed user CPU times. I was finding that with long running cpu intensive processes, the user cpu time queried via getrusage would stop increasing.

See the following kernel bug:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16559

It appears this issue is fixed with the proposed release, see the changelog entry:
"sched: Fix user time incorrectly accounted as system time on 32-bit"

Any clues as to when/if this will become part of the main lucid release?

thanks to those involved in preparing the proposed package.
