Thanks for the quick reply Lonni. I'm glad to hear that it's not a problem
limited to Ubuntu. Like you I suspect it has something to do with the 3.x
kernel series. I'm going to be doing some experimentation soon to try to
isolate and eliminate this problem. I'll update this thread with my
findings.

If anyone else is interested in coordinating efforts, I'd be glad for the
help.
