Further digging in our bug database makes it look like the problem may
have been in "cpqw" itself; and HP's notes seem to indicate that this
driver disappeared after EFS 4.48a, so I don't see how it can have been
fixed in 5.54a.



One customer who was having the problem fixed it by simply turning off
some Compaq (HP) EFS drivers he wasn't using.  In that case the drivers
he turned off were: cled cpqw crom csmu.  You would of course have to
determine which of those you are beneficially using, and keep them.  The
evidence I have does not make it clear which of the four drivers caused
the problem -- it could have been any one or any combination up to all
four.  As I said, there were hints that it was "cpqw", but only hints.
So you might start by turning that one off.
