Greg - I screwed up on that patch (and I'm still scratching my head as
to how testing missed it) - it's a two line fix I'll be mailing off to
Linus shortly, or if you don't want to wait for that reverting it might
be better (though there was a data corruption bug that users reported
that fixed, so I'd be hesitent there):

Here's the fix I just mailed out, just waiting on a bit of outside
testing to mail it to Linus:
