Great, so it looks like it's only going to get worse.  ;-) Oh well. I
did google the problem and it seems people all over have had the exact
same problem.  Sometimes they found a fix, sometimes not, so obviously
it isn't always stemming from  exact same source, or if it is, it's hard
to determine.  Just makes me wish I could get Linux up and running!
