The patch causing that behaviour went in between 2.6.18 and 2.6.19rc-1. I have 
some 100 patches to go bisecting the bug, but it's slow work due to 
difficulties in getting physical access to the machine for extended periods 
of time.

I'll be sure to let you know when I have the exact commit. That may be at any 
time from tomorrow to beginning of July, I'm not sure yet what my free time 
allows.

Yours,
-Malte
