That uptime you get for 3.1 is what I used to get from 2.2.5, and *only
2.2.5 and stables over the next few months until mid-December 1997 or so,
when the problem was fixed.  I will say that, except for
2.2.5, the problems I have had with FreeBSD freezing or otherwise dying on
me is due to my own stupidity or problems relating to X (*never* switch
between virtual terminals while X is starting or dying) with one exception.
A recent -STABLE (~2 weeks ago) gave me a kernel panic once during the
execution of mailq from which I obtained a crash dump. I posted the results
to freebsd-stable so go look if you want to see it. I have not upgraded
since before this panic, and the machine now shows:

>uname -r; uptime
3.1-STABLE
3:13PM  up 8 days, 22 hrs, 13 users, load averages: 1.00, 1.01, 1.00
which I'd say is not bad considering the instability people have been
seeing. The machine was upgraded to 3.1-BETA from 2.2.8-RELEASE.
