Sounds like it was a fix that needed to be made, so I agree, just wish
my box had become stable..

 Really weird thing is that I used to have BSDi on the darn machine and
everything was fine, but moved to FBSD due to a software app I was going 
to run that were FBSD binaries.  I take it none of the additional backtraces
said anything worthwhile to you??  Nobody else ever responded to any of the
messages, so I'm still kind of up a creek so to speak.  I swapped out all
the hardware, but maybe I need to try going to a totally different brand of
motherboard or something.  Anyway thanks for trying...
