the fib lookup.

Thanks.

This bug was introduced in 2.6.35, I believe, so should probably send
this to stable as well.

Thanks,
Ben

A good way to handle this is to include in the changelog of the patch
the reference on faulty commit, to ease David and stable teams work.

 From what I can tell, this never made it into the 3.0 stable
series.

I know that normally you feed things to stable, but please let me
know if you'd like me to send it to the stable guys instead...

Thanks,
