Just a guess, but maybe your system locks up every time the CPU usage gets very high under SMP? That's one thing dnetc is guaranteed to do. Do other CPU-intensive operations do it? (Maybe you said earlier, but I haven't been following this thread.) - @ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
