I was too quick to acknowledge this patchset. It doesn't work.

This patchset fixes the crash, but it introduces another bug - when I type
'reboot' on the console, it prints 'INIT: Switching to runlevel: 6' and
then it gets stuck for 80 seconds before proceeding with the reboot. When
I revert this patchset 'reboot' reboots the machine without any delay.
This bug was reproduced on Debian 5 userspace on pa-risc.
