Bugs are fixed all the time without major changes. If you enlist the google's help, you can find out what they are. IIRC you're already on 2.6.39 so try searching for 2.6.39.1 then 2.6.39.2, 3.0.0 etc to see if there's anything that sounds like it might fix your issue. Or just try them all as they come out. You can see from the ebuild Changelog which kernel patches match with which ebuild.
