Oh, so it's this bug
Before kernel 2.6.25, a kernel bug
meant that the kernel code that was
intended to coalesce successive identical
events (i.e., the two most recent
events could potentially be coalesced
if the older had not yet been read)
instead checked if the most recent event
could be coalesced with the oldest
unread event.
