Sorry, I meant tested _without_ the patch. (i.e. does Paul's patch work
or not for you...) And double sorry, if you did already test
vanilla 2.6.38. Tripple sorry if you already wrote that you did test
_without_ the patch and it is still needed... I guess in that case I
should just ditch my copy of 'speed-reading for dummies' ... :) ) 

But anyhow, Eric already stepped up and said that the current state is
supoptimal, so it doesn't matter if vanilla 2.6.38 (without Eric's
patch) fixes it for you since it looks like Eric's patch should go in
nevertheless. 

Thanks,
Flo
