Damn. I think the stupid typo in fs/nfs/file.c from the fcntl f_op removal
patch is the problem.
Andrew, since I’m gone in another hour, how about you try to make a
2.6.8.1 with this, since this is clearly a good reason for one?

Well, we’ve been discussing the 2.6.x.y format for a while, so I see this
as an opportunity to actually do it… Will it break automated scripts?
Maybe. But on the other hand, we’ll never even find out unless we try it
some time.
