I initially mailed this to the NFS mailing list on sourceforge.net but
it doesn't seem to have made it through.

BTW, this also affects 2.4 kernels (e.g. RedHat's AS3 kernel) which
include your CTO patches that aren't in the upstream kernels yet.

Thanks,

It's not a critical bugfix. It will make it in, but not while the
current code-freeze is in place.

AFAIK Steve Dickson is already aware of the need for this particular
patch for the AS3 kernel. He was one of the people that brought it to
my attention a couple of weeks ago.
