That's possible - although as of late i'm generally finding new regressions, 
the old once-in-a-blue-moon races i've triggered already. (the roughly half a 
million random bootups i've done in the last 2 years in -tip testing went a 
long way in rooting them out)

I'll try to figure this one out in a few days hopefully - the laptop is not 
available for testing right now for other reasons.
