Freerunner: GSM Contacts

Sometimes none or some of the contacts on my SIM from T-Mobile are seen. I
discovered that if I put the SIM back into the cheapo T-Mobile phone and
then re-insert into the Freerunner they _all_ appear again. I don't know
what makes them go away in the Freerunner.
Once I flashed a new rootfs but home is on the microSD. They were gone
until home was mounted (I had to restore the clobbered fstab). Another
time I flashed, did the same remounting but still none until I put the SIM
in the T-Mobile phone and powered up and then put it back into the
Freerunner.
