Have your tried/are you able to remove LIBMCHAIN & LIBICONV from the kernel and see if it continues? Also, you'll want to make a debugging kernel and set the system up to do kernel panic dumps so you can run gdb and find out what caused the problem. malloc is used by a lot, so the panic message you gave isn't really enough to do any debugging on. But (and this is rather wild speculation) it could be buggy RAM or just about any other piece of HW being buggy. If you've got spare RAM around, try replacing it. -Bill -- It may be that true happiness is nothing more than the ability to *always* know the right thing to say at the right time, whereas true misery is the state of perpetually saying to oneself, "What I *should* have said was..."
