    It appears to have fixed it. I'm now debugging the amr(4) driver as it
    hangs with a "bad slot 0 completed" message. From the source, that number
    could be any positive integer, but i've never seen it hang with anything
    other than 0 (I've reproduced the problem about 10 times already). It's
    fun stuff... :-)

    Thanks,
    Andy
