First, please try with Linus upstream. The "master" branch in my git
tree is quite stale, and my next and merge branch are too at the moment
as I'm still travelling. All our current stuff was merged during the
last merge window so there's nothing "new" for you to pickup in my tree
at the moment :-)

If the problem still occurs, I'll have a look next week.

Cheers,
Ben.
