Updated my Athlon-xp 6-stable system last night, got an em watchdog
timeout for the first time a few hours later, during a fairly
high-traffic period.  System is UP but does have device apic in
the config.  Any chance this is the recent race condition?
Workaround?  ifconfig em0 down, ifconfig em0 up seemed to cure it,
at least for the moment.
Thanks,
Barney Wolff
