The gdb output included in the first note was from a kernel built with config -g. > You mention that the problem occurs with 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 - my problems > didn't begin until I installed 2.2.6.

In fact, I _was_ going to try installing 2.2.5, but I didn't see it on the ftp archives once I thought about trying to retrograde. Are the older releases tucked further down in the ftp directory, or maybe on a different server? I'm a relative newbie; the 2.2.6 CDs are the first CDs I personally own. The FreeBSD boxes at work were installed by someone else. He gave the 2.2.5 CDs to a student, assuming we wouldn't need them any more. I'm trying to track them down.
