Whether it is correct/sufficient I do not know. The comment from Alexey: It seems that there is an error in our code, that either releases ASL mutex twice, etc. In either case the correct behavior seems to not abort execution. Error seems to vanish in 2.6.17, so we should just apply this patch. is discouraging.
