Basically they went away for the most part and only occasionally show up. Ie: the machines stay up for weeks/months instead of hours/days. I also know that this is the same case at Yahoo. The test programs they had to easily reproduce the "Weird Shit(tm)" panics stopped after they started using the sym driver. ..snip..
