I have not dug far into this, since I don't have a 2.2.1 i386 kernel
compiled at the moment. Would you mind comparing the assembly source
from "objdump -d fs/proc/array.o" (the get_stat function) with the C
source in fs/proc/array.c (or just send me the assembly source for the
get_stat function)?

I looked at the differences between 2.2.0 and 2.2.1, and there have
been quite some changes in that function. I cannot think of any reason
why this should be an arla problem. It is surely a bug, I just think
it's a kernel one.
