	Yep, typo on my part :-).

	Since Michael is just across town from me I gave him access to a couple
of my test sensors. Core2 seems to like the SUSE 9 sensor but not the FreeBSD
one, so it looks to be a Core2 to BSD issue OK, although the stuff below is
fairly bizzare since I don't see why the debug level would sometimes make 
things work correctly (unless this is a timing issue somehow).
