I applied the patch to our mostly-5.3 tree (with some modifiecations to ttyinfo() to get it to apply). It boots and passed the test that provoked the issue before. The crash only showed up on one nightly testrun out of dozens though, so I'm not certain it fixes the underlying issue. I'll let you know if anything else turns up. -- Ed Maste, Sandvine Incorporated
