Yes, this was fixed recently.  The fix should be in Linus's
tree as of this morning.

#   2004/11/05 16:30:34-08:00 tgraf@suug.ch 
#   [PKT_SCHED]: Builtin qdiscs should avoid all qdisc_destroy() processing.
#   
#   None of the code in __qdisc_destroy should be applied to a builtin qdisc
#   or am I missing something?
#   
#   The patch below prevents builtin qdiscs from being destroyed and
#   fixes a refcnt underflow whould lead to a bogus list unlinking
#   and dev_put.
