Gang,

I'll throw this out FWIW. I upgraded my Solaris 10 box, a V210, from 4.1.8 to 4.1.9 yesterday. It had been rock
solid with 4.1.8.  I upgraded by building 419 with Sun
cc Forte 9 compiler, stopping ipfilter via /etc/init.d/ipfboot,
doing a pkgrm of ipfx and ipf, installing the new version
via "make package", then restarting via ipfboot.

This morning I found that the machine had rebooted itself
in the middle of the night, with no crash dump.  Savecore
is enabled.  One of my Volume manager metadevices needed
maintenance.  Hmmmmm.  I'm doing a "metareplace -e" to fix
the metadevice.  I'll keep an eye on it to see if it falls
over again.  If so, I may roll back to 4.1.8.
