Last night I ran a machine with the latest kernel (the one with Steve's latest '3 locks' fix) and PEND_INTS undefined. The machine stayed up for 10 hours while doing its usual work of web cache and newsfeeds along with a make world. That seems to have fixed the problem. I have now defined PEND_INTS again and am running more tests. Nothing definite yet, but after a good hammering (_lots_ of CPU and disk activity) the machine is still running fine. I will know more within the next 12 hours, but it looks like the '3 locks' fix has solved the problem. Many thanks to Steve for helping out. -Russell
