That RedHat bugzilla is from kernel-3.9.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc19.x86_64.
Does that kernel include Matthew's patch from Mar 19? I'm wondering
if that report is for the same problem Mantas saw and possibly would
be *fixed* by the Mar 19 patch, or if it is for a problem with the Mar
19 patch itself.

I would check this myself, but I don't know how to figure out what's
in kernel-3.9.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc19.x86_64.

Mantas confirmed that the Mar 19 problem fixed *his* issue, but I
haven't seen any reports from either Mantas or Chris (the RedHat
bugzilla reporter) for the new Mar 26 patches.
