I'm not aware of anything, no.
First thing to do is to test a more recent kernel, see if we already fixed it. Latest mainline would be good. linux-next would be better. 2.6.26-rc2-mm1 (hopefully a couple of hours away) would be best.
If we haven't fixed it then I'm afraid our best shot would be for you to run a bisection (please). http://www.kernel.org/doc/local/git-quick.html
