I had trouble getting 2.6.5 onto the machine with the distribution it
had.  I have installed a different distribution, and now have 2.6.15
running, and it produces the same error.

So, we know the bug was present in 2.6.15.

Now that I have an older distribution, I should be able to try 2.6.5 and
2.6.9 shortly.  Do you expect it will produce substantially different
results from 2.6.15?

I'm absolutely inclinded to do so.  What can I do to get you more
information, other than the above?
