That certainly will. What currently makes this bug hard to fix is that
it takes around 7 months to test a possible fix. We don't even know if
more recent kernels are affected, it's possible that 2.6.32-stable is
the only one that people don't reboot for an update in 7 months :-/

We need to make this bug more visible, so John's patch will be very
welcome !

Regards,
Willy
