I'll check it out, I see the commit:
6d208da89aabee8502debe842832ca0ab298d16d
Well, that commit does solve a return value problem on 64 bit systems but it
isn't the workaround I was referring to ... the mail which I sent that started
this thread (April 7, 2009) has a small patch to arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S to
load the return value directly from the stack and not %rax to workaround the
corruption issue.
