From the comments in the original post I saw, it looks like Trond did produce a similar patch, but I couldn't see anything when I was looking for a resolution to our problems. Perhaps it's worth waiting for more confirmation that this is a) harmless in all cases, and b) fixes the problems being seen before trying to get this pushed up. I freely confess that I don't know enough of this code at this level to feel confident beyond "it works well for us".
