Since 2.1.126 actually. But I already sent patches to Alan
to have sb16 ( and 32 and 64 ), behave all right when
mmapping occurs.

I have just checked alan's ac6 patch and it is there

So try

linux-2.1.131 ( from your nearest mirror )

and

ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/alan/2.1/patch-2.1.131-ac6.gz
