not quite....
Adam was right about not ruling out the kernel. The problem appeared to be caused by the new kernel code update.
In order to rule out as much as possible I decided to go back to my previous kernel source, recompile including modules, and reinstall. Everything was back to normal. Problem went away.
I recompiled the new kernel source, including modules, and after installing it the problem was back.
I am now running my older kernel and there has been no recurrence of the problem. As the kernel source code was, apparently, only a minor upgrade I don't know what went wrong.
Thanks for your advice Adam.
