Yanagisawa-san,
I did some more troubleshooting of my own last night I found out that by
increasing the sleep time to 5 secs or more the problem doesn't occur. I
agree with you analysis that there is some kind of race condition
between line 48 and 52.
Thanks for the patch you e-mail me. I've applied the patch and rebooted
a couple of times and it looks fine.
Thanks again.
