Peter,

That did the trick. It's not pretty, but it works. I'm amazed this
this problem was not reported more frequently, not just because of you
update, but the earlier discussion of the value of DISABLE_PSE on many
systems (including mine).

Thanks! I was afraid that this was such a rare problem that the
changes might go in and my laptop would have the OS frozen for a very
long time.
