The workaround in the errata had no effect and the only notice I could see of something changing was the errata did not include the problem as of FreeBSD 7.0. I stayed with production releases and source upgraded hoping a fix would be coming but stopped that at 6.2 when I saw no related changes (re: your messages in 12/2006 - 02/2007). I was planning to move to 7.0 based on the lack of the error description in the 7.0 errata. If no patch has been made, I'd prefer to keep an otherwise stable system status quo. I guess now I'd really like to know if this has been fixed or not. I've been tied to my monitor for near two years now because of one system that seems to exhibit the problem regardless of what hardware we put in the role. Without a dump I've never been able to say that THIS problem is MY problem but the earmarks are there and I've just been waiting. Doesn't 7.0 fix this? I'd like to see an official definitive answer and all I've been going on is that the problem description is no longer in the errata. Thanks
