i think that this is actually a separate problem.  i bet it's only on your
660av (you do have one, right?)  i'm seeing it on my 840av, but not on any
other machine.  the workaround for now is to switch to MRG-based ADB.  i'm
not too sure what's going on there...unfortunately, the debugger is pretty
much useless at this point, so i can't get a stack trace and figure out
where we are hanging.  i can get into the debugger, tho, so i assume that
we're not actually hung at splhigh().  maybe we're infinitely looping
somewhere.  unfortunately, i only remember 1 ADB change recently, and it
was on march 18th :-(  ok, there was a change to pm_direct.c on march 5th,
but i'm pretty sure that doesn't affect the av mac's, right?

later.
