(See my earlier message on this subject to the -STABLE list.) Well it still has `something' to do with those changes as all stable kernels from before that commit (Jul 28) never showed the bug (at least for me), and everything after that date did... Now as to WHY this is so, well, *shrug*. especially as the fixed atomic.h does indeed appear to be the `real' fix for it...
