As a follow up to this problem report.  The problem turned out to be
the USB hub I was using on my 4.8 box. I would have sworn I tested
without the hub last week when I first had problems.  But alas I must
have dreamed I made this test.  All is well under 5.1 and 4.8 with my
SanDisk USB 2.0 compact flash reader. (-:
