Okay, I'm stumped. I've run 509B's (and plain old 509's) since they
came out, in a lot of busy production critical servers, running FreeBSD
and just about anything else for x86 that networked. I've found them to
be nothing but rock solid reliable.

Do we know who originated the "buggy" comment in the kernel config?
Would someone like to volunteer to track back through CVS and see
who originated it? Would the originator care to explain the comment?

Personally, I think the whole "buggy" statement is bogus, and has been
for quite some time. Lacking evidence to the contrary the comment should
be squelched before this business of buggy 509's reaches the status
of urban legend :-)
