I've just run across this bug when investigating a recurrence of #499745 on another box. It seems that this bug could be the root cause of mine and many other similar bugs filed against Lenny's kernel. Seems worth pushing as a stable update at any rate.
Looking at the last comments on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/276476 it seems there are three patches to fix this issue, rather than just the two linked to by the OP. The upstream commits are: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.28.y.git;a=commit;h=e17036dac189dd034c092a91df56aa740db7146d http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.28.y.git;a=commit;h=6bc912b71b6f33b041cfde93ca3f019cbaa852bc http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.28.y.git;a=commit;h=cce7ade803699463ecc62a065ca522004f7ccb3d If I have time I'll try and build a lenny kernel with these patches and see how it works, but if someone else beats me to it I'd be happy to try.
