As a follow up, I read through the original thread before sending this 
and my understanding is that this message probably shouldn't be getting 
printed in the first place.  I've turned on KMS, ATOMIC, STATE, and DP 
debugging to see what shakes out.  I have a KVM on my desk that I use to 
switch between systems fairly frequently.  I'm speculating that the 
connecting and disconnecting is related, so I'm hopeful I can trigger it 
quickly.
