Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-06-11 08:43:05 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-07-07 22:28:28 UTC

Unlikely to be fixed for 6.0 because any patch will be far
too invasive and risky.  Will try to get a fix in 6.1 instead.

Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-10-16 13:58:12 UTC

This is not going to be fixed for 6.1.  Will try for 6.2.

Comment 7 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-06-10 09:12:36 UTC

Not yet fixed upstream, but worth fixing this for
6.2.  Setting dev-ack+
