Given that the issue is present on both your machine and
Michael's, it's unlikely that it's firmware related (unless re(4) is
doing something hacktacularly awesome!), but I just wanted to gather
all the facts before something's brought up to glebius@, if the issue
is indeed one of the two commits (or both) mentioned above.
Could you guys please try reverting one or both of the commits to
see if the issue goes away?
Thanks!
