Oh thank goodness for that, I was worried when I saw the
other message about the fix being --with-spinlocks as
that's not a good solution.

We can't hold back 2.2.6 for this unfortunately, we'll
have to put something in the release notes about it -
any chance of getting the patchid pre-allocated so we 
know what it will be ?
