This one is not reproducible in the latest 3.3 kernels as reported by
the users and has been marked as fixed-upstream [1]. I myself am on 3.3
kernel and have not seen this issue. I could have reassigned this bug to
the kernel team so that they backported the fix, but the bugzilla has no
patch attached. Finding the right commit that fixed the bug will require
bisecting the 3.3 release.

Still am adding the kernel team. Just in case they have any further
information.
