There are quite a few reports.  I did a diff on the glue code and there are a 
few changes between 22 and 36 that could be the culprit.  I'll investigate 
further and let you know.  8.0-RELEASE here, by the way - does anyone know if 
there are (missing) MFCs regarding the cdevpriv API?  That's one of the bigger 
changes in the glue code.
