 Well that seems to have done the trick.  I guess this is related to
 something already found based on the quick idea for the fix.
 
 I do not currently have a running 5.x system.  I was going to make a
 spare laptop my first system, but it seems that 5.x dislikes the PCMCIA
 ports on all 6 laptops I tried! So.......Any upgrade to RELENG_5, or
 even 5.3 on the desktop will be on hold.  Thanks.  When I do get to
 RELENG_5 I will let you know how it works.
