hm, why did you cut out and ignore this question from Thomas:

First you are putting pressure on us by innuendo that we somehow did not
react to an unfixed x86 bug, supposedly starting in v2.6.23 and still
not fixed in v2.6.26 as we speak. This is a pretty serious accusation!

But, if one looks closer, your accusation does not hold up to scrutiny:
it turns out that it is not in v2.6.23 but v2.6.25, that it got fixed
within 2 weeks between v2.6.25-rc1 and v2.6.25-rc2, that it is not an
unfixed bug that we ignored but at most about a small detail in a debug
feature introduced by _you_.

Why are you doing this with us? First you are accusing us and then you
are ignoring straight questions that would clear us from your unfair
accusation. Why?
