>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-960501-SNAP i386
>Environment:

	P133 with 512Kb PB cache 32M  memory. Adaptec 2940 with two SCSI 
drives.  ATI PCI Mach 64 video card.  

>Description:

	Machine is a heavily used server.  It used to hang up without any
messages under the 960323 release when there was heavy disk activity (like
running news expire or /etc/security).

	Would appreciate an explanation of what this message means.  Any
suggestions on avoiding this situation would also be appreciated.
