Hi, Pete.
Thanks for the reply and tips. I'll try to apply the patch this evening,
and see if it runs longer, unfortunately, it may be >16.5 hours before I
know if it helped :)
When the system oopses, it will still function, for awhile anyway. It
eventually goes nuts, and I have to power cycle it. But I can usually get
the debugging information I need before it completely loses it's mind, or
at least I have been able to so far!
