Um, I don't think so. It was not fixed in pre-2, nor was it fixed
in Linus's pre-3. We tried both on many large mirror runs, and both
of those kernels exhibit the same problem. In particular, we just
tested it on pre-2 a minute ago to verify, and we tested it last
week with pre-3.
Really? Eric Schenk ran days of exhaustive tests on the fix he wrote.
In any event, thanks for not reporting the continued failures back
then when it mattered, as far as we had known, the problem had been
fixed.
