This patch is completely bogus: it breaks LCMS completely on all distributions that applied the patch. It turns out to be impossible to link from LWN to a message on a sourceforge mailing list, but please read what Marti Maria has to say about it.

Is this a problem with LWN? or with SourceForge? If the former, please let us know so that we can get it on the list to fix, thanks!
