While others may be dubious about the efficacy of this patch, I've been
running -rc6 on my laptop now since sometime last night and have seen

In case anybody cares, I'm using both ide and a ieee1394 (for a large
external drive [which implies scsi]) and I do a _lot_ of big work with
BK so I was seeing the problem within hours previously.
