"read defect list" with 2.0.30-pre7 and patch Aug19

[Gerard Roudier]

I donnot use to be sarcastic, or perhaps I does, I donnot know ...
If you are able to write 50 full lines of text that explains a 
trivial change, you probably will put the Net on the knees the day 
you will explain a complex one. ;-)
(Sorry Doug, I could'nt resist.)

A data overrun is generally an application error and so, no error 
recovery should be attempted at driver level, in my opinion.

That's all.
