For completeness, I tried kernel version 2.6.13-rc1 (which has the
membar changes built in) on SB1000(2x900).  Up time was under 10 minutes
before a hard lock.  Just about any sort of heavy CPU/disk activity is
fatal (I was using a gimp rebuild as my stress test to a normally
running system (X, firefox, xchat, evolution, etc.), because gimp
rebuild for me is a pretty reliable kernel killer:  On
U60(2x450)+membar, it took three rebuild attempts to get a successful
run to completion without a kernel suicide; SB1000+membar has never made
it more than a minute or so into a gimp build.)
