Innnnnteresting.  For the record, I get more or less the same thing (modulo
order) on my Dapper kernel.  So, that would *not* be lame... 

(Now the sixty-four dollar question is, do I do my usual upgrade method of
"build a new clean OS on a new hard drive and suck the home and data
directories over", or do I take a deep breath and apt-get dist-upgrade the
thing in two weeks when Hardy goes GA?  It's *supposed* to work....)
