That is it!!!!!!

Here is output 'top' after 1 day. This could easily cause a panic/reboot
once swap has run-out and may also be related to the ahc reboot problem, and
kernel panic reboots I have been experiencing.

I am starting to see a common thread....... I use the 'ahc' controller.

This can easily be reproduced.....

Daniel do you use the 'ahc' controller?

Can others that use the 'ahc' controller also check 'top'
