Well, it was producing working kernels up until 2.6.30, but I recompiled with gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2 and the box has been running nearly 48 hour without incident. My previous record was 2. So I guess we can put this down to a new compiler bug. I probably should have checked this before reporting a bug. Mea culpa -- Tony Lill, Tony.Lill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx President, A. J.
