It appears to have been somewhere in the bt stack.

I unplugged my BT dongle, and plugged in the one I have for my netbook,
and everything worked fine. I went back to my old dongle, ...and
everything worked fine.

There may have been some global state that got reset by changing the
adapter - I don't know.

BTW. The adapter that didn't work that now does is an ISSC adapter. I
read your previous posts about how they are broken, so perhaps it is
related to that - but it is working now and I am happy.
