Sorry, never said it was. 2.6.27 is just fine for this. Since it has indeed been that way so long, I guess I figured it was obvious this was not a last-minute-urgent sort of thing. I figured Ingo would put it in one of his trees to be chewed on. Aside from the test case, which I did indeed contrive after I found the bug, and the general concern about races, I was only bitten by this because it fouled up things for changes I'm working on for .27 or later.
