I think David's larger point was that what looked to me like more 
widespread breakage was in fact limited to [a]x25, a comparatively 
rarely used (and rarely tested) corner of the kernel.

I turned them off and that solved the problems here. (and i suspect 
the real fix wont be far away either) Thanks everyone.
