I think some other packages were updated between the last reboot before
updating to 3.4.1 and that reboot. However nothing was updated between
testing 3.4.1 and falling back to 3.4.0.
However, I only tried 3.4.1 once, so it's certainly possible that it was
some other intermittant problem that just happened to fail on that boot.
I have to run now, but later this afternoon I'll try 3.4.1 a few more times
to see if the problem happens consistently.
