I hadn't been recording it, but I think our -current (not latest, 27-oct) has had more than it's fair share of explosions, and I think most were during news expire, although it did appears to have improved a lot when I recompiled it without mmap() usage at all. :-( It doesn't seem to be as fast now though.. :-( I've not been able to get a crash dump. dmesg is always reset each time. Unfortunately the machine is remote and unattended. I had though of hooking up a serial console that I could monitor from one of the machines next to it, but the machine doesn't have any serial ports.... So, we have a machine that silently reboots with no way of knowing what is causing it... -Peter
