As an experiment, I applied all tty layer buffering revamping patched
from 2.6.15-mm2 to the vanilla 2.6.15. There were two rejects in drivers
that I don't even compile, I ignored them. The bug indeed manifested
itself. There is no such bug in vanilla 2.6.15 kernel.

So please, remove these broken patches from mainline and give me some
instructions how to debug this in -mm.
