Hi Adrian,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I don't know.  Is there a way to tell for sure?  This machine is from
~2005 so I don't think so, but Wikipedia claims that work on 11n
started in 2002...

But is that related? The crash / freezes seem due to a locking issue.

waiting for the disk.

Sure, but any hints at how?  When the system enters kdb, I type
"panic" as described in section 10.4 of the guide... and the system
immediately reboots, without dumping core.

Thanks,
