I should probably refrain from responding when I have too many other things purculating in my mind while at work. This has gotten me in trouble once before on this _same_ list. :) Thank you for your thoughtful response. > > > -- > > Michel TALON > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- panic: kernel trap (ignored) ----------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p12 (SMP - 900x2) Tue Mar 7 19:37:23 PST 2006 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBEq4tvXxK1cRs0zxkRAhblAJ98+XCLdZHwgWWrVLe4BoR9Jm/14gCfQvI2 zGlmyxeoHwmvAMQsY+jd8fc= =IXpM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
