Yay! Thanks much.

The next step is to find which patch fixed it, which probably will
involve some staring at the list of patches. If you want to narrow
down the range, it would be interesting to bisect through the list of
precompiled kernels at http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux-2.6/
to find the newest broken and oldest fixed one.
