Um, I don't think so. It was not fixed in pre-2, nor was it fixed
in Linus's pre-3. We tried both on many large mirror runs, and both
of those kernels exhibit the same problem. In particular, we just
tested it on pre-2 a minute ago to verify, and we tested it last
week with pre-3.
But I agree with you that it is a well-known problem...
