mmm, doesn't apply to the -mm3?  

I knew it didn't apply to the 2.6.26-rc5 because there was a patch in the -mm3 which modified the
same code. I assumed that patch would remain in the -mm tree until 2.6.27, therefore I didn't try
the -rc8 code base.  

I applied it 3 times to different 2.6.26-rc5-mm3 trees. The first time there was a problem, but
did new 2.6.26-rc5 trees with a -mm3 and the last 2 times it worked. That puzzled me.

interesting.

ok will resubmit later when we get a newer -mm update

thanks for the help
