>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-970311-GAMMA i386
>Environment:

        This has been duplicated on both an old 486 (home system)
        as well as on a 586 at the shop (quake game server).
        I have not tested it on any of the 'important' machines.

>Description:

	"watch" can cause the system to reboot without any trace
        of information in the logs.  I don't have dumps being written
        to disk at the moment (at home, I don't have the space..).
        If this is not repeatable, I can turn on dumps and send 
        one of them..    
 
>How-To-Repeat:

        prompt}  watch
        (screen clears)
        Snoop started.
        Enter device name []:
         
        At this point, merely hit carriage return to reboot.

>Fix:

        Unknown [I don't have full sources at home]
