Hi Jan,

I'm glad it works on your system with 2.4. Good that we're finally
narrowing on the issue, which seems specific to your 2.6 kernels.

let me look into a few things and recontact you for further tests,
and perhaps to review your kernel configuration since the problem
doesn't happen on our 2.6 kernels here.
