I thought that I had bad ram (my single processor did indeed have bad ram), but the freezing still continued after taking the new memory out of my dual. I'm using an Asus motherboard, dual P3-450, 256M ram. 4.3-release-p14 has no problems. 4.4-rc freezes occasionally. I run X right on the SMP machine. There are multiple NFS mounts to other machines, as well as NFS exports that others use. Several Windows machines use the SMP machine as an rsh server for checking out cvs sources. Accounts are NIS based here, as well.
