It's varied a bit, because I've raided some RAM out of the box-in-trouble
to put as much as 3.5GB in my news transit box.  Right now, the B-i-T only

The other thing I just saw was that the problem went away during its last
incarnation.

If someone is interested in looking at a kernel dump, I'll do as Matt
Dillon suggested and see if I can get a core.
