hmmm ... that bug report output *sort of* looks like my output, but
not exactly, although yes, it might be close enough for government
work.

i've not tried any of arjan's RPMs -- i've always built from
stock source, but if he's got a -test2 RPM, i'll give that a shot.
this makes me wonder if there's a summary of the non-stock fixes
or adds that arjan has done to the RPM version, to help in isolating
the problem if the RPM works.

my last working configuration was RH 9 and kernel 2.6.0-test1-bk2,
with the appropriate newer RPMs.  this is my first attempt at trying
this under severn.
