Stefan,
Philipp sent a patch[1] that seems to work for me[2]. With Philipp's patch you 
should be able to just
patch drbd - make clean rpm - rpm install the new drbd.

I am not sure when Philipp or Lars will put the patch in the baseline (or if 
they already have, as I have not been doing the svn thing) and release a new 
tarball, but it may help them to have another "Patch works for me" vote of 
confidence sent in. So please give it a try. :)
