My machine is still suffering these problems when SMP support is enabled, and
it should be noted that it hangs very much more quickly when using linuxemu
(in my case opera, but also netscape).  I only had 2 system hangs when in
console mode, but closer to 20 with linuxemu running.  These are _total_
system hangs, requiring power cycle.
