Hi,
I'm getting a crash in propagate priority, as mentioned by a few people recently. Bug reports and comments about it seemed to have dropped off, so given that I can reliably reproduce it, I was trying to work out why it's going on.

One thing I found quite odd was the following stack trace. It appears that msleep() is being called recursively via cursig() calling stopevent. When msleep calls cursig(), it has temporarily dropped Giant. Surely this is bogus? (This is from a a kernel updated in the last few hours)
