Ok, I will report the problem there. Btw, the problem doesn't occur with 2.6.33.2 either so it definetely seems to be a regression with 2.6.34. Unfortunately, I don't have the machine at hand anymore, so I won't be able to test in near future :(. Very sorry. However, I know someone who still has such a workstation, I will ask him to test.
