I feel so cheated. After I sent out that message and was composing
another, my machine Page Fault'd and rebooted. Beware of overclocking,
processor fans, and especially flaky hardware. Thos will kill a decent
FBSD system any day. They can make a great UN*X, but the machine is only
as good as the hardware. :-/ My next machine *won't* be cheap parts.
