Sorry, that I've forgotton to add the following last night: After 
the first bisection round, I was so glad about a result that 
time, that I reverted this mentioned patch from the 3.13.8 
kernel, but this didn't fix it. Must be something that came 
later: But you all understand more of what you've coded.

Best regards, Manuel Krause
