Actually you might be on to something there.... one of the main differences
between out test GL360 and the live ones is that the test one has less
cores in it, and is under less load. So multiprocessing problems may well
show up on the live where they wont on the test box. I shall try
building a kernel with the BSD scheduler adn see what happens there.
probbaly not today, as am loathe to cause anymore downtime right now.

thanks,
