I don't think that on its own would justify sending it in for 2.6.27.[1]

But if I understand right, the effect of leaving out this chunk was to
make the *default* behavior "sloppy"?  Which seems a drastic change from
the previous behavior.  And it's a simple enough patch.

So I'd be inclined to agree and send it in for 2.6.27....  If Trond
doesn't poke his head up by tomorrow, let's go ahead--feel free to send
it to Linus with my

if I fall off the face of the earth tomorrow.

--b.

	 - if it's not on the reported oopses list
