 it could be anything, but the way that the software engineers that
chitech have employed have been hacking the 2.6.24.2 kernel source
about, ignoring basic linux kernel development rules and introducing
race conditions on GPIO and other vital S3C6410 hardware registers
that i have been able to determine so far, i'm really not in the least
bit surprised.

 augh.  i need about 2 days to recover from last night, otherwise i'm
going to be winding everybody i know up.
