I'd like to contribute a completley unqualifide note:
When I build a -current kernel with WITNESS and I use the nvidia driver (no=
t=20
the GL-Part, just the kernel module and the x-driver) the system freezes=20
without panic or anything else, only a powercycle helps.
After removing WITNESS the box is running fine. Now for about 3 Weeks witho=
ut=20
any problem.....

If I can do any tests please give me instructions, I'd love to help.
