Yes! It means I have the same kernel that you do, so I can trace every
code path as the need arises. I don't and won't use any kernel other
than official kernels/pre-patches from kernel.org.
In any case, you can hold off on sending more debugging information
for the moment, as I think I know what the problem is (from someone
else's bug report that was similar). I'm working on a 100% correct
solution (I made a half-baked solution late at night that fixed the
problem (and created other problems)). It's a little nasty, this one.

Richard....
