Well, I'd definitely like to see this fixed properly if possible. If
you have any suggestions for how best to figure out what's going on,
that'd be great.

I could possibly arrange ssh&null-modem access to the system in
question in case that makes a difference. I'm pretty new to kernel
hacking as I'm sure you can tell, so there are probably (obvious?)
debugging options I haven't yet explored...

Do you know of any relatively inexpensive (or very common) hardware
that might help? I wasn't really planning to spend any money on this
fix, but if it's something I can put to good use (or maybe sell on
eBay) after testing then I'm not opposed to the idea.
