I have enabled it again, to see the difference. When I was using snapshot from march, 
I had not problem to freeze the system in couple of FF/REWs. Now it is much less frequent, 
but I cannot merasure it accurately.

I have no insight to the driver, but it realy seems like some timing/race condition
issue, so basicaly anything can affect it. The problem will be probably elsewhere.
