The two kernels were made freshly supped (less than 4 hours in each
case):

FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE #114: Sat Oct 17 17:49:53 CST 1998
FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #114: Sat Oct 31 15:57:42 CST 1998

Note that CST is +0930 (first kernel) and +1030 (second kernel).
Don't ask me why the number is the same for both of them.

This hasn't happened to me, even though I did crazy things like
running Emacs against a 160 MB file, which caused a couple of swap
overflows (no more! I added another 500 MB swap).

Ah.  I've had mine in the machine since the BSDI days.
