Well, you know what you're doing enough to fix it. :)  Your patch worked
like a charm.  I commented on it in the ticket.  (I referred to you as
"the person who made the patch"  (Or possibly the gentleman.)

The one problem is that it if you use it with the kernels that would
work, prior to your patch, it seems to break the compile there.  

Sigh, it's becoming complex.  It seems that we might need versions for
older and newer kernels sooner or later.  (I don't know if that patch
that fixes the other problem on Ubuntu's Alpha breaks it on Hardy, I
don't use Ubuntu enough to keep more than one version around.)

Regardless, thank you so much for the patch.

Buffy: You read my diary? That is not OK. A diary is like a 
person's most private possession. You don't even know what I was 
writing about. Hunk can mean a lot of things, bad things. And, 
and when I said his eyes were penetrating, I meant bulging. 
Angel: Buffy... 
Buffy: A doesn't even stand for Angel for that matter. It stand 
for Achmed, a charming foreign exchange student. And that whole 
fantasy part has nothing to even do with you, at all... 
Angel: Your mother moved your diary when she came in to 
straighten up. I watched her from the closet. I didn't read it, I
swear. 
Buffy: Oh.
