[Davis, Arlin R]

Hello Michal,

Great progress, kudos to the team for a quick resolution. I concur, let's test before we roll RC3.

Vlad, please pull these fixes into new daily build so Brendan can test.

> Hi Arlin,
> 
> We've been working with Brendan on this and were able to reproduce on
> our setups fix, and test locally.
> There are three commits (2 fix the issue and 1 fix was exposed that our data
> collection had an issue)
> 2 out of the 3 fixes have already been upstream in official linux revisions.
> one of the fixes can't go through next as is as the code varies quite a bit.
> 
> Brendan will only be able to fully verify the fix Monday / Tuesday.
> 
> The commits that need to be pulled are in my github:
