After compiling the source rpm for the kernel with a drastically
reduced .config (one that is customized for my system), this no longer
occurs.  So there is something in one of the configuration options I
removed that was causing this.  Probably removed a couple of dozen or
more, so no way to tell which (one or more) it is.  2.6.29-213

Hope this gives anyone else having this problem a potential solution.
