BTW, I'm not sure this is a regression.  I can't find a version on which it doesn't occur at all.  I think it was triggered when I switched to a PAE kernel when I got more than 2GB of RAM for my laptop, not by new code in the kernel.

Removing from the list of recent regressions, thanks.

Still the case ?

Looks like this went away.
