Sorry, I didn't realize you were talking about a pre- kernel

I know :-)

Yeah, I read that. However, I think it's  more useful to hit the bug than to
avoid it, otherwise it will just  be more difficult to get it fixed. Besides
I could just stay in 2.1.126 if the bug really bothered me :-)

Note for  the others  who are  running 2.1.x kernels,  if you  have problems
and/or questions, you  should really consider reading the  linux kernel list
if you aren't yet.
