It doesn't look like a power problem. We have it with several systems

Thanks everyone for replies made over the past few days about the
unsolicited rebooting problem. At first, I thought there was a
memory allocation bug as judged by the output of netstat -m, but
apparently it's just a cosmetic statistics reporting bug and nothing

Hi Kris,
I cannot find anything about that in the /usr/src/UPDATING for the 5.4
branch. We're running FreeBSD xyz 5.4-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p5

Is it in 6.0 and if so, will somebody backport that fix?

Hi Kris, Rutger, and others that have commented on this thread.

responses that helped solve the
I just thought of one other bit of info that may be relevant to the
auto-rebooting problem I've experienced with our PowerEdge 2850.
Since the problem may be related to memory allocation, I thought I
should mention that we have more memory in that machine that is
typical for some users.
