No, it just means that the thing now takes frequent breaks... to recover for its various and sundry kernel crashes which (for the reasons I have explained) I am not able to debug at the moment. P.S. *Somebody* needs to be cataloging all of these *&^%$#@ spam spewing unsecured mail relays... like for instance the 120 of them that IMRSS has located at Cornell. (Some other group has been scanning for, and publishing data about smurf amplifiers for some time now. The IMRSS project is just doing the same stuff in the case of "spam amplifiers". But I digress.)
