Hmmm...this is the same problem reported like 2 weeks ago by several IIcx
users.  So, it appears that it affects more than just IIcx's.  This
problem does seem to recur in cycles, tho.  Scott has suggested that
something about the size of the kernel might be tickling some variable
somewhere, and that if you cut out all the unnecessary devices in your
kernel config file, you just might change the kernel size enough to
alleviate the difficulties.  I assume that the -current GENERIC kernels do
not exhibit the same behavior?

Later.
