It does seem very complicated.. in little words (for simple me), what
happens when the race happens, and is this a kernel bug?

Does the mounting work now?

As for 0.5.5, my acpi, apm and pmu updates are always trickling in, so
whenever is convenient for you David, is good for me.

We haven't had a release in ages, and I'm fed up of telling the ubuntu
and rawhide people "bug fixed in CVS"... :-)
