I found the offending code in 2.2.1 (at least for the floppy
driver...others could be involved).  I can work up a patch for that and
2.0.36 in a matter of hours, if you'd like.  I'm not sure how far reaching
the problem is right now, though, and the changes may affect other things
(doesn't look like it, though...the problem looks fairly well isolated).
