Of the four 3.1 machines, three are extremely stable. The fourth has had very occasional problems when under heavy VM load since upgrading to 3.1 -- e.g 3 lockups since Feb. It also happens to be the fastest (333 MHz compared to 150, 120, and 33 MHz). I just applied the patches listed in PR 8416. We'll see what happens.
