Correction!  I added more printfs and also turned on ACPI_DEBUG.  It turns out 
that sometimes I get calls to maybe a couple notify handlers immediately 
after a boot.  Then it looks like that part of the system (ACPI calling the 
notify handlers) gets stuck.  Could this be a locking issue?  How can I tell?
