The last freeze showed a double fault screen and my co-worker wrote down the EIP: 0xc017a572 . nm kernel.debug | sort | grep c017a5 shows: c017a538 t rn_search c017a564 t rn_search_m c017a5a4 T rn_refines He said this happened when he tried to surf to a URL with a non-existent hostname -- and it appears to me that rn_search might be related to res_search(3) lookup functions ? I'm going to update the machine to 3.3-STABLE very soon and I'll keep you posted if I get into any more troubles...
