Comment 2 for bug 879666

I think that this might have been caused by an erroneous merge. Untested, but it looks obvious to me what the fix should be. I've attached it. But because it's a race, it will be difficult to test the fix itself. I think it's only realistic to test that this doesn't break anything.

What's the status of this in precise, as upstream will not accept the console fifo security fix? Does this issue exist in precise also? For this reason I'm not sure what to do about the SRU procedure here.
