2.3.18: Invalid minor number being received on release

Hi,

I'm writting a char driver for a home made ISA I/O board. I noticed the
driver's release function which is called by kernel after /dev/myboard is
closed is receiving an invalid minor number value.

Should I assume the minor number information is not valid when that function is
called or is it a bug?

Best regards,
