OK, I just ran a dmesg and put it up there:

The WRITE_DMA messages are not time-correlated with this issue; I don't
like the looks of those either, but that's a different issue to look into...

OK, recompiling now... Will the new messages appear in dmesg, or in a
log file?

Cool - thanks for looking at this, and I will let you know what I find!
Do I need to make another trace concurrently, or should I just repeat
the test procedure and see if I get new messages?
-Thanks, Joe
