Do you mean to say that you think that Alan Cox is a incapable
programmer?
A full description of the bug can be found by searching on quake in
the same archive:
http://opensource.creative.com/pipermail/emu10k1-devel/2001-September
Please browse a bit around because it contains much more information

If you want any further info please let me know.
Groetjes, Han.
