Oh, man, sorry to cause so much work to figure that out. :)  I'll
compile with that set and see if it helps.  Not sure why that config
worked on 2.6.37, but not 2.6.38.  I usually just run `make -j4` with
the old .config and basically pick the defaults, except for turning on
the occasional new USB device driver.
