When this panic occurs again, try to capture as much of the text from the console as possible (I often take a snapshot with a digital camera, and jot down notes on paper). The more detail you can provide the developers, the better. And, if (when) you're brave enough: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html Also, I think it may be appropriate at this point to test your computer's RAM (using a "memtest"-type utility); doing large, intensive tasks such as building OpenOffice is bound to uncover issues with your computer's hardware -- I know this from experience :) -Brandon
