Yes - Matthias and I had a quick go at backporting Bruce's patch,
but it looks like it isn't a straight back port because some code
doesn't fill out the offset field. Triggering the bug involves root
(or someone who can write to disk devices) doing some slightly
unusual things, so it shouldn't bite people in general. If Matthias
and I get a working patch, I'll look at committing it.
