I realized that my "watch" command wasn't as strong as it could be.  A
simple "while true; do cat dump; done"
exposes the problem fine and polls more rapidly.  A few things I also
verified:

1) This problem was there all along for me... even with 0.27.

2) This problem is there when hdaps /isn't/ loaded.  Although I do have the
module compiled and did install with HDAPS=1.

3) This problem shows itself in single-user mode

As I implied above, just cat'ing dump is enough.  There might be other
interfaces that work, but all this rebooting is tedious.  I'll look for
more if you guys think it's worth it.  Also, when I take out my battery, a
lot of the interfaces aren't there.
