Ack, don't say that... I just downgraded our server to 2.0.5-RELEASE
to see if that will give us longer uptimes. :-/

Yeah, it's more serious than that here. When the system locks up,
everything is dead. As I said, I've put 2.0.5-RELEASE on with a
kernel to handle a larger number of open files and mbuf clusters. The
one major thing that is missing is the pcvt driver.
Unfortunately, I can't rule out NFS because our anonymous FTP
archive sits on a BSD/OS drive (which I don't think FreeBSD will
recognize) and user home directories are mounted from another central
server. I could probably move ftp.io.org over to another machine for
a week (if 2.0.5R crashes in the next couple of days) and see what
effect that has.
