OK.  The problem was due to user error in not setting the 
configuration option CONFIG_FD_CHAN properly.  When this option is 
set to "Y", everything appears to work fine again.

Just in case anyone else runs into this, here's what happened.  In the 
UML Incremental Patches site, the no-chans patch had dealt with this 
possible problem by removing the CONFIG_FD_CHAN configuration option 
from the config file.  However, the bb1 patch does not contain the 
no-chans patch, so it requires that the CONFIG_FD_CHAN option be put 
back.  For some reason, CONFIG_FD_CHAN defaulted to "N" when prompted 
for on the screen as a new configuration option while doing a "make 
oldconfig ARCH=um" using an existing config file.
