Please look at the patch I attached to the bug report.  There is
other code that is not equivalent.  It's in comment #17:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13780#c17

And the patch itself:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=23048

This patch fixes my problem.

I also noticed this difference (comment #18), patched it, and
tried it.  This is not the issue.  Also note that I tested the
2.6.31-rc9 kernel which still had the problem.

The bug report might be a little confusing since after comment #18
there are older mails pasted in the bug report.
