  dannf> We plan to "fix" this by recommending the workaround as well.

+ horms> In the mean time: (Message-ID: <20060202113824.GA4399 at verge.net.au>)
+ horms> Given this seems to be an ongoing suite of problems, with little

+ horms> woody and sarge kernels, many of which i have reproduced the
+ horms> problem on allong with upstream's 2.4 (~2.4.33-pre1)
