No. We don't do this. We don't add TOTAL CRAP to the kernel just because
somebody is being an idiot in user space.

This is definitely a user space bug. It was a serious bug before, it just
wasn't obvious.

The thing is, if anybody runs SLES, they expect support. That's what the
"E" in "Enterprise" means.

So I would suggest SLES now show that support by fixing THEIR BUG.
