You get this kind of answer from people who 1) want to be helpful, 2)
can't answer the question directly, and 3) don't have the problem the
requester has. Unfortunately, weird problems like this will appear and
disappear from kernel to kernel and distro to distro. It's one of the
things we live with in the Linux community. The upside is that if this
was Windows and you had the problem, you'd have to wait for the next
service pack or OS version, and _hope_ they fixed it.
