So far, have only narrowed down the bug a little:
  1. It is not a "patch" bug.
  2. It is not something omitted building the custom kernel (3.10.35)

Upgraded attr from 2.4.46 to 2.4.47 - no help
tried running as root - no help

Have other things to do, so need to put this off for a week.
Thanks for your help,
  Russ
