Please forgive me if this is silly question.

Is this patch still needed, even if current (2.4.7-pre7) code has the
(related, I think) patch in kernel/sched.c? I thought the change in
sched.c at line 610 to 614 addresses the similar problem.

I haven't tried Stuart's patch on current kernel yet. If someone can
shed light on this, I appreciate.
