I'm updating to 3.3.1 and will see if I can reproduce the problem.  It could
well be that there was some initial condition that caused this..but nothing
was logged to /var/log/messages, and my serial console buffer didn't show
the start of the problem, so I have no way to tell.

So, I'll let you know if I can hit it again.

Thanks,
Ben
