I will take a look and see if I can get a panic message later on,
unfortunatly the one box that I have running forwarding is a highly
important system that I cant afford downtime on, and most of the time when
it panics Im working on it remotely, but it definatly panics and the box
reboots.

I will try and get another test system up shortly and send you the exact
panic message.

Thanks

Andrew
