This has to be 2.8.2, not 2.2.8.

The problem was already reported and fixed, release 2.8.3 includes this
fix. Thanks for reporting anyway.

You're right, this is confusing. I think it is a problem of kernel
header vs. user-space header, which is not handled correctly, but I
cannot tell much more.

Maybe Ky?sti or Greg can bring us some light?

Oh BTW, note that even with 9 less question marks, I wouldn't have been
able to help, so you could save some.
