Heh, it was DoSing me right from initial boot!  :)

It looks like the bug was introduced some time ago: the bug report from
Johnny's email a few days ago

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=979936

says that the bug was introduced in this kernel:

Older than that goes back before CentOS 6.4.  Maybe trying out Johnny's
test kernel is a better option?
