Someone (Cy Schubert??) in the last week or so posted a set of accumulated patches for 2.2.5-RELEASE, including a fairly critical VM fix from John Dyson. The VM fix may be a solution to your freeze problem.... If you can, I'd suggest looking through the list archive for that set of patches, which will probably tide you over until you're ready to upgrade to 2.2.6. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
