	I suspect this is going to be related to the concurrent
discussion with Aleksei, and would like to see the instrumentation
results from his tests before adding another change to attempt to
resolve this.

	Also, what device are you using for your testing, and are you
able to run the instrumentation patch that I provided to Aleksei and
provide its results?
