I'm fine with that, Tim. The issue is more complex than it looks at
first glance. Moreover, the issue is environment-specific and not
reproducible on RHEL, which I believe a sign of Linux kernel problems
(how much patches RedHat has there? :). Let's revisit this issue after
M4. However, I want to hear Alexei Zakharov's opinion.

Thanks,
