Arghh.. okay, removing that from the code has no effect on it either.
I just don't understand the problem any more, since I don't actually
have it here (I think).

Can somebody explain again what the issue was, when it began happening,
and whatever else?  And what Tejun's fix (2.6.22) does again?

I've lost all of the early postings.

Thanks
