Hi Dan,

Thank you for the patch.

We are also trying to fix the issue:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/19/29
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/8/55

and the fix is finally in Greg's tty git tree since yesterday:
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
(tty-linus branch).

Best regards,
Alexey
