There aren't any debug options that need to be enabled. The reason I'm 
asking is because we had a bunch of similar issues being reported 
earlier that got fixed and it's been calm for a while. That's why it 
would be interesting to know if 2.6.35 or 2.6.36-rc2 (if it's not too 
unstable to test) fixes things.
