It'd be great if you could send this patch upstream as well, thanks. That way it'll be fixed upstream and you'll get credit for the fix. After that it looks quite reasonable for a RHEL6 fix. Thanks, -Eric
It would also be great to have you report this issue through your official support channel if you have a RHEL subscription or via your partner engineering contact. That way, we can track it properly as we put together issues that make a release. Thanks!
This has been fixed upstream with commit 0587aa3d11f9769a301b21bff2c3ed8365606b8d. For RHEL6 there is the same fix and bz#655875
