Thanks for finding this; did you run into this problem?

Since this was posted back in 2013 it would be nice if someone could do a 
quick sanity test to show that 1) the problem still exists on current kernels 
and 2) the patch below fixes it.  You get extra credit if you show your work.

The reproducer should be trivial; I'm just dealing with some other issues 
these next few days.
