OK, do you accept the following bugfix for /proc/cmdline?

+ proc_sprintf(page, &off, &len, "%s\n", saved_command_line);
return proc_calc_metrics(page, start, off, count, eof, len);
}

Since kernel version 2.4.19, a read() from /proc/cmdline with a
non-zero offset doesn't work anymore: try "dd bs=1 < /proc/cmdline".
Because of this bug, the following fails in ash and the busybox shell:
$ read line < /proc/cmdline

I've posted this fix to lkml in januari, and sent it to you several
times, but got no reaction. Alan Cox included this patch in version
2.4.21pre5-ac4 of his tree. Could you please include this obvious fix
in 2.4.22?
