Then it started occasional lock up during heavy processing like building the ports index. No messages, no errors, nothing. All I can do is power off/on and hope for the best which worked until last weekend. I posted about it before but only received one private "me too" response. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you are not the only one experiencing "weirdness" since 4.5.
