Thanks Kris.
Since this is a critical production box, I'm a bit scared to track Stable.
Do you know when this will be merged into a release (7.1 I suppose)?
Would it be safer to just get this single patch (if possible at all)?

I've also been advised (off list), to switch from the default 4BSD 
scheduler to ULE. What are the implications of this?
Would it solve this specific problem or would I still need to patch/upgrade?

  bye & Thanks
