[CentOS] kernel bug fixed in later kernels

Does anyone know if this is going to be fixed in CentOS ?

// test case code below
// expected behaviour is "all good" and a return code of zero.
// this works on 2.6.35-1
// does not work on 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5 from Centos 5.5

// think this bug was fixed in git commit 
8948e11f450e6189a79e47d6051c3d5a0b98e3f3
// around 2.6.22
//
