Yes.  It was suggested I try -git6.  I reported that it seemed to be OK, but 
clearly it isn't.  Then again, I've done a hell of a lot of reboots in the last 
couple of days.

I've updated my list at

http://www.reub.net/files/kernel/outstanding-kernel-bugs.txt
and
http://www.reub.net/files/kernel/

This is a very basic text file which outlines the details of the various bugs 
that I have on the go at any given point in time and where they're at as.  There 
are various postings on LKML reporting almost all of them.
