No problem.  Thanks for getting back.

Sounds reproducible to me. :)  Very good to hear.

If you have time to try some kernels from halfway between from
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux-2.6/ to find the newest
version exhibiting the problem and the oldest fixed version, that
would be very useful.  (Then we can use that information to find the
patch that fixed it and try applying said patch to squeeze.)
