We spent Wednesday trying to reproduce (without the patch) these issues without much luck, and have applied the patch cleanly and will continue testing it. Given the simplicity of the changes, and the community testing, I'll give my ack and we will continue testing. I think we should fix Robert's (unrelated, but in this thread) reported issue before 2.6.24 final if we can, and I'll look at that tonight and tomorrow.
