This bug is pretty old, it must have been introduced somewhen between
2.1.73 and 2.1.90. It's a bug that affects all MIPS systems. Therefore
you actually should have observed this problem in 2.1.121 as well.

I've got a tarball of 84kb new files and a 35kb patch from Harald pending
to be merged. I just checked, no trace of a memcpy patch in both of them,
could you please resend to me? Thanks.
