I'm experiencing some instability, though, which is to be expected because of the state in which the OM code is, but I'm not sure what portions of that instability may be caused by my putting an incorrect value on this line. I'm not familiar with the OM code, so I figured I'd submit this and let those who know the code take a look at it.  

There seems to be an incompatibility between a patch I introduced and
a change from elsewhere. The parameter names of
deputy_strncpy_from_user() have changed, so the return statement
should read 
return count;
