Yes, I'm running some custom patches, that must be it.  Thanks for trying to
reproduce it anyway, at least now I have an idea where to look.

I don't see this on my 4.8 or 5.x systems.  Are you running any custom
patches on that machine's kernel?

Alternately, can anyone else with a 4.7 or earlier machine replicate this
problem?

Thanks,
