A word of caution about bugzilla.kernel.org, to those who don't know already: By far not all maintainers and developers use bugzilla. I don't know for which subsystems it makes sense to file a report in bugzilla. I think your best bet is to report at the mailinglists listed in linux/MAINTAINERS. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== -=== ===-- http://arcgraph.de/sr/
