Btw, on a totally unrelated tangent, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate people looking for regressions like this, and trying to track them. Andrew does it, but this is absolutely something that should be possible to get more people to do, and it would be a huge boon for kernel development if we had a more aggressive regression tracking system. Right now it all very easily gets lost in the noise - either on the mailing list or even on bugzilla (where following up on regressions and trying to get details and prodding people to perhaps try to narrow things down a bit more often ends up falling on the floor, because it's a big job).
