    Gary,

    Do you know what the chances are that this problem I'm experiencing is SMP
    related? I don't mind turning off SMP, and I guess I could for now to see
    if that runs stable. Otherwise, I think we're going to switch to OpenBSD,
    because these crashes are occuring so frequently (twice a day)... and as
    far as the patch and regression testing, if someone sent me a patch right
    now I would put it on the server, because the server already crashes
    daily, so a faulty patch wouldn't change much :-(.

    I appreciate your response. I'm going to do a little more research today
    before i make my decision on a platform switch.

    -Matt
