  I had forgotten to do that at the time I posted.

  Last night, after the post, I _did_ try building "master".  The commit
date was from Aug. 1 -- I am at work right now, so I can't provide exact
info until I get home in about 6 hours.  I checked 'Makefile', and the
version there was 2.6.27-rc1, IIRC.
  It built fine, but same freeze was seen.

  A reversion of the commit I mentioned _will_ solve the problem, but
looking at the code I saw that it was an attempt to provide better
functionality.  I'm willing to help test modifications to make the new
code work!

Thanks,
Dave W.
