OK, I heard yesterday that EGNOS was now active, so decided to enable
it on my 60CSx. I downloaded the new SIRFStar firmware 2.60 and
installed it, turned the GPSr on and sat it in the window to acquire.
Satellite 39's bar appears intermittently, never fills in, and keeps
vanishing and being relocated.

"enable it"? Is EGNOS different from WAAS?

It took a _long_ time for my 60cs to get WAAS the first time, probably 45
minutes. After that, it has been pretty quick, even on cold start in
different geographical areas.
