AFAICT this is a result of your previous patch. Please make a new version of
your previous patch with this fix in it. Also make a note in that thread 
that
a new version is made so Greg doesn't pull it when he sees my ack. He
handles a large volume of patches so let's make it as easy as we can for 
him.

Thanks,
Noralf.
