I had it suggested to me that maybe it was something network-related after all due to the hoopla with finegrained locking of the network stack and drivers. My driver (wi) is supposed to run free of Giant, but I'll experiment by toggling debug.mpsafenet and turning on stuff like various WATCHDOGs and WITNESS and such, and see if there is some obscure bug somewhere. Either way, I'll take it off -questions and on to -hackers or even -stable if I need more help. Thanks for all your help so far! :-) -- Henrik W Lund
