Including it with that patch sounds reasonable. If you attach a backport patch to this bug we can make sure to include it. Else I'm not sure it's going to happen in-time for sarge (or rather at all for 2.6.8 as 2.6.10 has the change already) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
