	You sure that your hardware isn't broken?  This sounds like the
symptoms that I had on a system which had a semi-functional mother
board.  Its average uptime was between 3 and 20 days.  I saw it page fault
and reboot often enough to make me wonder where the legendary stability of
Unix was.  (This was with 2.2.1 and 2.2.5 when I was new to FreeBSD.)

	I discovered the problem when I shut down the system for a day to
look for bad RAM.  Turned out the whole darn mother board was probably
screwed, especially the BIOS and some of the I/O.

	FWIW, I'm running 4.1-Stable on several computers right now
(including a Pentium 90 with a mod_perl BBS on it) and haven't seen a
single problem yet.  They're both running beautifully.  Until I tried to
get Cyrus to work on it, that is.  :)
