Well, my theory is that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Once we have the symbols, the dump should tell us what's wrong. There's every indication in this example that it's a Vinum bug, probably triggered by an incorrect config file. >>> Definately try swapping mobos then. >> >> You're making him do a lot of work here without any particular reason. > > What would you suggest?
