The machine of ours that hung is a P100, triton, 2 adaptec 2940s, and
an Intel EtherExpress 10/100 running at 10Mbps.
I think I smell a common feature -- we're all using the fxp0 driver.
This server never exhibited this before I dropped in the EtherExpress.
Are there any known bugs in the driver? (I would assume not).
The machine was pingable by itself (the network code was working)
when this happened.
