I accessed the kernels from the mainline kernel git repository. I'm not 
a git expert, so I used commands adapted from a summary provided by Finn 
Thain to run git bisect. If you want, I can post the commands that I used.

I completed the bisect for the first failure mode and sent an email to 
the author of what git identified as the "first bad commit."

I'll send an updated message to this mailing list when there is a 
resolution (or if there's no resolution).
