Darn. It looks like there was a communication hiccup getting the patch for this issue into the stable kernel. The maintainer for the affected section of the kernel has been hard to catch the last few weeks. Linus has accepted the patch to the 3.5_rc kernel: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=91f68c89d8f35fe98ea04159b9a3b42d0149478f But it didn't make the 3.4.5 stable release. We will want to manually add this patch if we release a 3.4.5 kernel. A 3.5 kernel will probably be available before the 3.4.6 kernel comes out.
