Thats my fault. I had all the correct changes locally but my experience
with BK is just starting :-/ So this first time was a bit painful. I
asked people to tes my stuff but no one compiled so I toke that as
everything was okay. Please folks. Test the stuff. I even make classic
diff patches for people as well. 

I have fixes against 2.5.11 avaliable for this.

Diff:

Also I commited these changes to the BK repository. The URL for this is
