[linux-dvb] ifconfig locks on down - B2C2 flexcop.

Johannes - just to make sure I did this correctly; I patched in the below 
code, recompiled, rebooted just to make sure I was loading the new modules.  
I brought up each interface, then I hit each one with an ifconfig <dev> down, 
until it got to the last one, then it hung.  I hit Ctrl-C, and then:

# echo $?
130

I looked in syslog as well as dmesg, and found no "ARGH" reference or line.

I did see, however, the following upon creating the dvb0_? interfaces:

Jul 14 14:38:24 beryllium kernel: dvb_net: created network interface dvb0_0
Jul 14 14:38:24 beryllium net.agent[8019]: add event not handled
Jul 14 14:38:25 beryllium net.agent[8029]: add event not handled
Jul 14 14:38:25 beryllium net.agent[8039]: add event not handled
Jul 14 14:38:25 beryllium net.agent[8049]: add event not handled
Jul 14 14:38:25 beryllium kernel: dvb_net: created network interface dvb0_1
Jul 14 14:38:25 beryllium kernel: dvb_net: created network interface dvb0_2
Jul 14 14:38:25 beryllium kernel: dvb_net: created network interface dvb0_3
Jul 14 14:38:25 beryllium net.agent[8059]: add event not handled

And then when I went to bring down:

Jul 14 14:40:43 beryllium net.agent[8280]: remove event not handled

Since I see no ARGH line at console, syslog, or dmesg - can I assume we never 
even get to dmx_section_feed_release_filter call?
