I think that driver has been buggy *much* farther back than just 
2.4.19.  I threw the cards (plural) in a drawer, and maybe they've 
been subject to a cleanout operation since.  I'd guess since 2.4.13 
at least.

I hope that wasn't the author that got killed in a heli crash in 
Alaska last week, (see /.) that would really be sad.  His last 
output, working, would be a fitting remembrance.
