Hi Pascal,

Thanks for taking the time to write this up.  As far as I can tell, the
looping was actually fixed in an older kernel and I just misread our
version string in your original email.

I'll track down the commit that fixed things and send it off to the
stable series.  SuSE and Fujitsu have done a number of error handling
cleanups, it should be one of those.
