 ~All tests were done with 9-STABLE from early May. I also tested with
 10-CURRENT kernel, downloaded from an ftp mirror on May 5th,
 2013. This kernel showed the same behavior, so I did all further
 testing with the 9-STABLE version.
 
 I will update my sources to 9-STABLE first thing next weekend, and
 will also re-test with an up-to-date CURRENT kernel.
