Sorry, I cannot duplicate those segfaults on our Servers. With dual or quad CPU's I cannot get our iNET Servers to lockup or crash. Well ok, if I put in some bad memory it will. You may want to check that SuperMicro Power Supply. It may be flakey. In terms of FreeBSD, I can tell you that it is -not- an OS problem. It is entirely -hardware-. Long after the price is forgotton, the sweet taste of quality remains.
