Ongoing problems with the "ath" interface - is any relief in sight??

Interesting... I'm having the reverse problem: With the 6.1-STABLE 
CVS as of July 27th, I'm getting many of these ath interface errors. 
Because of this, I reverted to the June 21st version, in which the 
errors occur less frequently (but still occasionally).
