My bad.

My primary mistake was that i could have noticed the original 
regression breaking kdump that Yinghai reported - i should have 
delayed the tree until a fix came in - like i delayed a couple 
of other trees that you didn't get sent.

Then, to compound it with another mistake, the fix for the kdump 
breakage was sent to me a couple of hours after i sent you the 
tree - and i havent processed all subsequent mails yet up until 
today - so you noticed it before i did. Double fail.

Anyway, i've queued up the fix and will send you the new tree
after some testing.
