This kernel has only been half broken.  For many it has been working,
for others it hasn't.

Dave's had a little difficulty rebasing to 2.6.13, but given the amount
of effort he puts in I wouldn't even think of blaming him for not
testing the kernel on all the different possibilities.

In the past four or five days, we've had the first three 'broken'
kernels of the rawhide series.  You've unfortunately just hit a rough
patch.
