Possibly not. I'll find out when 2.4 comes out (I can crash a 2.3.x kernel pretty simply even if it's compiled with 2.7.2.3, so I couldn't accuse anyone of a crash.)

Probably, but it didn't take much time to produce the patch. If I was going to be anal about it, I'd hack out // handling in cpp, but that would break EVERYTHING the free software community has written in the last two years.
