Since FC2test1 and Taroon/FC1 use completely different kernel versions
(2.6 vs 2.4) I'm not sure if this bug is caused by the same thing or not,
but this one is definitely a regression.  Everything worked with FC2Test1
until I updated to the most recent versions.  Going back to the kernel
that worked doesn't help either.
