I also think this is a bug.. but I don't understand why (if it's a bug) 
the problem happens suddenly! Maybe after an update ? I am not sure.
I use debian etch and the version of the Linux kernel is : 2.6.18-4-486. 
I still have the same problem with another kernels. So, I don't think 
that it comes from somewhere else but it's instead hardware...
    
Try updating Etch.  Ensure that you have the linux-image-486
meta-package installed, which depends on the linux-image-2.6-486
meta-package installed, which in turn depends on the most recent version
which is 2.6.18-5-486.
