>Description:
I installed the 3.0-980302-SNAP distribution and the kernel is currently
3.0-980313-SNAP. The machine is configured as a workstation and also as
a mail server which exports /var/mail directory to other FreeBSD, SunOS,
and Solaris workstations. Apparently, when someone reads his mail, the
machine reboots automatically without any prior warning.

I installed FreeBSD-3.0 because FreeBSD-2.2.5 does not include all the
drivers such as the Ultra DMA driver which is needed for my Pentium II.
>How-To-Repeat:
When users try to access large mailbox and/or when they starts a second
mail reader while an existing one is already started.

Unfortunately, it is not obvious to repeat the problem :-(

It would help if the FreeBSD box can report an error message before
rebooting.
