Hmm, I've also had problems with 4.5-STABLE on my SMP box.
I have dual p3's on a Tyan S1834D (w/ a not so great VIA chipset) that
randomly locks up after about a day or two of uptime. 4.5-RELEASE-p2 ran
fine, and I've downgraded STABLE to RELEASE-p4 which seems to be running
fine as well, but it's only been about 4 days.
