Cross-talk square-wave?

Yup, I'm planning to use the SD card in SPI mode (at least for now). 
And this line is the CS/CD line, so it's not even running at 25MHz.  And
as Noel pointed out, this is happening without the SD card even being
plugged in.  I'm not surprised at cross-talk, I'm surprised that the
cross-talk appears so clean.  It's not spikes but fairly clean, 1V
square pulses.

Yup, I put in all the pull-ups.

Good point.  I really should have put a good decoupling cap nearby and
the production card should have its own regulator.
