Where do you get this driver from? The one I host at
  http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/w83627ehf/
includes a compatibility patch for the problem you are reporting. And
the one Guenter is hosting at
  http://roeck-us.net/linux/drivers/w83627ehf/
includes variants for older kernels (2.6.18 and RHEL 5.4 as I
understand it.)

BTW, Guenter, I don't think it makes sense that we both maintain a
standalone w83627ehf driver. Mine is lagging behind these days (lacks
support for the NCT6776F) but yours is less user-friendly IMHO (separate
source files for older kernels.) Maybe we can combine our efforts to
have a single, up-to-date and user-friendly driver? First question
being: do you plan to keep your driver alive at all, or was it just
there for the times when you were working on adding NCT6776F support?

FYI, I am using quilt to maintain my standalone drivers. This lets me
keep the compatibility layer separated from the original driver code.
That way it is very easy for me to update to a new base version of the
driver - I simply pop the compatibility patch, update the driver, push
the compatibility patch again and refresh it as needed. Then I upload
the result to my website. I don't know if you have such a workflow on
your side.
