Machine locks up (sort of): followup

[Derek Quinn Wyatt <quinn_(_at_)_physics_(_dot_)_utoronto_(_dot_)_ca>]

Some of you may remember an obscure problem i was having with my machine
locking up, or going into a serious sleep mode, and requiring a lot of
slapping around for it to wake up.  If i kept a ping going from internal
through obsd firewall to the world, constantly, the problem never showed
up.

Well, this was with OBSD 2.5.  I just finished installing 2.6 fresh last
night (ie. i didn't upgrade), and left the machine alone for 10 hours.
After that it still responded nicely.  I think the problem is gone.

This is with a kernel recompile using the unaltered config from my 2.5
system, the same NAT and IPF rules files, same network cards, hardware,
etc etc... 

I still don't know what was causing it.  Not for lack of looking, believe
me.  I've given up on that and am now just happy that it works :)

Once again, bravo to the authors :)

Cheers,
D
