Moreover, in linux-2.6.18 SCSI scanning will be asynchronous by default

The patch is OK. I give you the permission to release a new version of
udev config tarball identical to the current one without the "bug" rule

Thanks Alexander. DJ, Archaic, would you mind applying the relevant

Regards,
Matt.
