45h - all OK.

Doesn't really require _doing_ anything except building patched kernels. And
it is in my best interest to test the driver for the WiFi card I use...

Ah, I saw the message and wondered whether it is the fix I needed and what
patches should I apply.

So, I am building 3.2 with two patches: over/under-flow catcher (pity that
it seems to be on a multiple-times-per-second codepath and just leaving the
checks there for everyone is suboptimal) and allegedely proper fix. Both
applied OK with a small offset.
