Thanks.  The only reason I haven't fixed this so far is that I've
reported it twice to the kernel developers and gotten general
agreement that it's a bug.  But they still haven't changed anything.

I've just re-reported it to the kernel.org bugzilla (bug 11110), so it
won't get totally lost.  So your patch is OK.
