On 64 bit CPUs there is a memory corruption bug on probe().  It should
be a u32 pointer instead of an unsigned long pointer or we write past
the end of the setupdata[] array.

Someone reported in 2003 that probe has a NULL deref so maybe it's
related to this memory corruption?

If only we had applied this patch when I originally sent it two years
ago, then it would only be 10 years too late instead of 12!  :P
