If you're using the patch I had posted to #7134, yeah, kill it. It
won't help (based on what I now think is happening).
If you're using Bill's udev.c, it should fix it, but it's really a fix
for #6137, not #7135. Fixing #6137 would obviate the need for the code
that causes #7135--meaning you won't see the issue if you use that approach.
However, testing the patch I attached to my last message would be very
useful since it's likely that a fix like that will be used for
0.22-fixes and the fix for #6137 will only go into trunk.
Thanks,
Mike
