   [ I am messing around with a 3 processor P6/233 system to potentially
	do some heavy-duty database work, and it hasn't been able to 
	complete a make buildworld yet.  Crashes with a wide variety of
	errors.  Pop in the NT drive, works fine.  FreeBSD crash.
	Just about to shoot the damn thing, and...]

a tickle of somebody saying something (DG I think) about mixing RAM types.

So I pop the cover off this bad boy and lo and behold, 2 64MB parity's 
from one vendor, 2 more 64MB parity's  froma different vendor.

Replaced them so all 4 were the same vendor, and it is solid as the 
proverbial rock.  2 buildworlds later, -j8, a few million db inserts, and
no problems.

I *love* this OS.

I'm running -current as of today.

If the last of the NFS problems get ironed out so my netapp is happy, 
I can probably retire.
