As "up-enter" gets me past the problem, it's not critical, but I thought I report I saw it too. Mine machine is a dual-core AMD X2, and I'm using ZFS (so I don't think fsck will help). This machine is a fresh install. Just wanted to point out that whatever the problem is, it made it in the 7.0 release. Bill
