The machine would freeze when I did some rapid mousing/clicking in and out of a window. Nothing in the logs. If I stayed out of X things were just fine but this was my home machine and why should I have to stay out of X? I figured FBSD dev was just running behind the Intel dev and time would fix it. Or Xorg dev would even up. In any case it went away in the next release. It was never *that* much of a problem; consistent but not often. Your freezing appears to be more frequent than was mine. At this point in the release cycle I think the only issues they find are for weird corner cases. Perhaps you have one. Or it's hardware :( Try a different NIC for a while. r
