  I'll give that a go.  The reason for me using 'allow-hotplug' is now
lost in the mists of time, as it was already this way when I first put
/etc on that machine under git control in 2011.
  Of course the last two boots with 'allow-hotplug' also worked, so I'll
report back *if* I have the issue again with it changed to 'auto'.
