something.<br>
<br>
here is a link to the bug description:<br>
<a href="https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12665" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12665</a><br>
<br>
the man page for the function in the bug report mentions that linux does<br>
not impliment the desired functionality<br>
<br>
<br>
It seems like it is accepted as working the way it does, and at the same<br>
time it is reported in bugzilla as a current bug.<br>
<br>
<br>
What am I missing?<br>
