Well, I could, but that's a sledgehammer approach and while likely to work, in the absence of a bug report/fix (I'm not saying there isn't one), it is not guaranteed to work. For example, it might be freezing up because of something I can control with configuration (loader.conf stuff). I'll have to stop the processes for a while and see if I can reproduce the behaviour while the system is essentially idle. I'm certainly willing to upgrade but it would be good to go into that process with more confidence of success. cheers, Dale
