   Umm, I wouldn't count on the next SNAP being too stable. I have a dozen
serious bugs (panics or system hangs) on the whiteboard, and I don't expect
to have more than one or two of them fixed before the next SNAP. I wish I
could be more positive, but I've been working on finding some of these bugs
for several weeks. They take the form of random corruption of kernel memory
with nearly random data...and aren't reproducible.
