Comment 38 for bug 431040

Was the fix released just an hour ago? I got hit by this bug on my server systems, which oddly enough weren't affected until the kernel update came through last night, and I rebooted. I don't think it's the kernels (didn't matter which kernel I chose the one time I tried a different kernel), but a package between the that and the previous reboot. Both my servers hit this bug, hard. Additionally, /var being mounted has nothing to do with hitting the bug:
