Interesting. The bug report includes a short code snippet which
compiles to a c program,
that shows the bug is still present. I'm on

bnl@tova:~$ uname -a
Linux tova 2.6.31-22-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 27 00:22:23 UTC
2010 i686 GNU/Linux

is it really so, that the bug is still valid, or does the code snippet
show something else?
