I wrote to Jason about this. The specific change he made is at [1]. Not being 
in the mood to study the DOSLFN source code in detail I ask Jason if he is sure 
that the additional reset he performs fixes a bug in DOSLFN itself, or if it 
instead works around a potential kernel bug. He is not sure about this. So with 
the current knowledge we CANNOT rule out a kernel bug.
