which is somewhat more interesting, though rather fuzzy.  there's something 
about the driver deciding not to handle an interrupt (nobody cared), after 
which the driver is toast.  some claim that this might be dependent on which
disk is attached.

fundamentally, the problem is to isolate whether the (few) reported problems
are due to peculiarities of the reporting machines or not.
