The previous problem is theoretically unrelated. It arose via a separate
mechanism which can't be used at the same as the one you're seeing now in
the logs.

So this either looks like a problem which has gone unnoticed and was
inadvertently fixed at some point, or is unique to the 2.6.20 stable
series.
