I doubt that you see the same bug. Try #494800.

Someone which is not submitter or maintainer changed it.

No. Many of my machines don't even have usb.

Check reply by Kumar Appaiah (20080812). He re-opened this bug against
kernel 2.6.26.

I found the attached patch somewhere on lkml. It's targeted for kernel

This patch hasn`t taken to Linus`s tree yet but has been queued by Greg
K-H, guess we`ll see it merged until 2.6.27.

I hope it will be merged into debian's package before it reach main
linux development tree.

If not I'll have to downgrade to 2.6.25...

Hi!

Just wanted to add that this bug doesn't exist in the latest kernel I
got from the SCM (2.6.27-rc3). So it got fixed in between 2.6.26 and
now somewhere; I couldn't zero in on the patch which Adam pointed
out. But anyway...

Sorry Bastian, but it's sort of unfair that you reduced the
severity. Granted that it was raised by a non-maintainer, and that you
don't use USB sticks. But that doesn't imply that all users won't have
it.

In fact, I'd really want this to be RC, but I don't want to fall into
anyone's bad books, so I'll just stop with making a request for a
severity upgrade.

The latest version on git.kernel.org seems to have his fix. Commit
59f4ff2ecff4cef36378928cec891785b402e80c [1] seems to have been added
a week ago.

HTH. Thanks to all.
