The value of not-rebooting is to test "hey, you delayed to much, you would have rebooted". While a production system might want a reboot, a developer just wants to know it happened. If you are getting the print, something is horking the box or hangcheck is horked. We should fix the bug. Joel -- "I'm drifting and drifting Just like a ship out on the sea.
