OK, I was incorrect yesterday in saying that the patch I sent out did not
fix it, I managed to install the kernel under the wrong name and I was not
testing the patch. Can someone please try this patch and report back if
it makes a difference or not. When I realized this and tried the patch,
I could not reproduce the problem with or without it.
The patch is archived here:

Thanks,
Steve
