term "injury time" and the like.  But regardless, what is the
purpose of a rc series if we can't get an important bug fix into it.

Here's what I propose and I am happy to help facilitate to
some degree.  We should definitely get it into 2.6.19.x ASAP
and obviously into 2.6.20.  And Fedora often adds extra
patches into their source RPMs.  This is the most important
for my company.  Even if we don't have it in 2.6.19 vanilla,
if I had a "certified" patch from you, we can try to take it
to Fedora and get it into their source RPM.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Paarvai

2.6.19 is already out (and by the time this bug was found, the 2.6.19-rc
series was way into injury time).

The patch will go into 2.6.20, then we can look into sending it in as a
stable update to 2.6.19.x. Not before.
