Thank you for diagnosing the problem so quickly! I think those systems
(we have 16 in that set) are Tyan S539Xs, where X is a 6 or 7. I'll
have to double check the exact model.

I'll complain to Tyan about it during business hours tomorrow. Any idea
as to why this issue didn't arise with earlier kernels? I've had Tyan
technical support try to tell me to down rev. kernels in the past
instead of escalating the issue. The more information I can give them
the better.
