Grr, still getting used to mutt, and I didn't reply to the list.  Yes, I'm
using an SMP board, and waiting on the arrival of the 2nd processor.  It
boots up and runs fine.

Yup, I've "fallen back to" a UP kernel, which hasn't crashed at all, and
I've done the same thing (rm -rf, cvs update) many more times than were
required to crash the SMP kernel.  Before I try this again, I'll have a
second processor in there..
