Actually we are a company and the big ones decided to buy new servers to work-around this bug. This 
is a common technique in companies. I say this sucks and thats why I experienced in our production 
system in order to give linux something back by reporting and helping to fix a bug which only 
appears on big systems. I do not understand why you start flaming at me.
