Comment # 13 on bug 1171224 from Michael Andres

Let me joint this and bug#1173106. It's not exactly the same issue, but both
are related to the current purge kernel impementation. As we're going to do a
complete review (and probably rewrite), it makes sense to collect all issues at
one place.

The resulting fix will then be distributed to TW and CODE.15 products.
