According to upstream sysfsutils 2.0.0 is out and stable since Dec 7, 2005. Just a ping since I know you're probably aware of this Greg.
udevstart isn't used anymore by udev and the 2.6.15 kernel, so any changes in sysfsutils doesn't matter :)
last time I listen to a user and file a bug on their behalf... That way I won't look like an idiot again.
Ok, am closing.
