This is strange...I've had absolutely no trouble on the same machine. But
I haven't had a chance to build a kernel recently, and there have been
a bunch of changes to locore, in the same area where a bug early in the
porting process caused the same problems. I'll try to build a new
kernel and see if I can reproduce it (it may take a few days...I'm not
physically near my machine until Monday).
