I've rebooted/shutdown several times and no more errors.  No apparent
problems in what I'm doing with the OS either. My report was just the
standard "send report" button submission in case it helped anyone.

Thanks for the look. I'm happy with operations at this time. If I can
provide any other info or data please let me know.

Thanks!
