Well, I took the sucker apart, blew the dust out, checked the RAM was seated
properly...and then I noticed the NIC was on a slight angle. It was partially
unseated in the PCI slot.

Anyway, I put everything back together, and I've been running mprime for the
past 6 -7 hours, no errors, no problems. Could it be that the improperly seated
NIC was the cause of all the instability? I'm hopin' so, I really want that
server back in biz.
