Any chance of this becoming 8.3-STABLE soon? While this is entirely

All of the following help to keep the problem away:
Upgrading from a several months old 5-STABLE to 6-STABLE.
Inserting 60 second delays at various points.
Disabling SMP.
No core dump available (Mylex disk controller).
My next diagnostic step will be a serial console.
