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 // http://www.mail-archive.com/git-commits-head@vger.kernel.org/msg11654.html
