Ah, ok, I do see it in the log, it looks basically the same as the call
trace I posted upthread.  I wonder why there was no such output in the
console, could there be some setting that suppresses it even though
/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq has `1'?

There were in fact 99 "Start .* acpi_ev_notify_dispatch" messages and 98
"End .* acpi_ev_notify_dispatch" messages.  Here's the last of them
before I rebooted:

Will do as soon as I can, hopefully later today or tomorrow.  Thanks.
