The host in case was using 512Meg RAM and I have tested it with 256Meg. I originaly installed a 3.0-CURRENT from mid December and updated to a recent version after getting panics. I used MAXUSERS of 512 and was able to trigger a panic during only a few minutes uptime after reducing it to 256 the host was more stable. Now it is running without any panics using MAXUSERS 128. > It turned out that a maxusers value of 256 and 512 were causing his machine > to go poof, but a maxusers value of 128 worked fine. > > I haven't tracked the problem down yet.
