Running 2.6.8-1.521smp on Fedora Core 2.
When I say Linux 2.6.8 fixes the bug, I mean the standard kernel shipped by Linus. I've got no idea what Redhat does, and they tend to apply alot of patches to their kernel, so it wouldn't suprise me if it's still broken.

Yep. RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 and RedHat Desktop 3 2.4.21-20 (heavily modified, as you said!!!) is still broken
The fixed version is 2.6.8, earlier versions were problematic. I don't think a 2.4.21 variant can be called "still broken" since it predates the fix.

Yes, but that's the problem with Red Hat; just 'cause it says it's 2.4 doesn't really mean a thing. RHEL3 basically contains, as far as I understant it, a 2.4 kernel with a load of 2.6 stuff hacked into it. (I think RHEL4 is supposed to have a 2.6 kernel when it comes out)
