Hi Willie,

The box with the problem is named "fpc" which is why that string is in
the logging record.

The box is a fit-pc -- a nifty little low power gentoo machine I got a
few months ago.  The cs5535 problem went away after I upgraded its
kernel from 2.6.20 to 2.6.24. I still don't know the actual cause of
the problem and (since it's gone) have stopped worrying.

Thanks for taking the time to search & help.

Regards,

David
