Weird, I say, I'm not in luck with this it seems, so I'll just have to
live without it I guess.

Thanks for the info, though, I was at first worried I had bad RAM, but
it seemed to be diskactivity that made the system crash, and I had just
enabled softupdates so ...

I hope it gets better for the release, it's my own fault running
-current. ;-)

BTW, is this sort of bug something I'd rather use sendbug for? Is that
the preferred type of bugreport?

Thanks, HAND
