Hi.

I've upgraded my -current box from a pre-SMPNG kernel (an August
vintage) to a post-SMPNG kernel (built today), and have noticed
behaviour I haven't seen discussed in -current.

I followed the instructions in UPDATING as well as discussed on
the -current list, and the system boots with nothing out of the
ordinary. There is no /modules, and the host is a UP machine.

However, after approximately 20-30 minutes, it appears to slow
down immensely, until it basically halts. Keyboard input at the console 
appears not to have any effect (although Caps, Scroll and Num lock work). 
The machine is pingable, and I can change VT's, but no input is accepted.

All services on the box get as far as the Connected stage, but no banner
appears.

I left it for several minutes, and saw
microuptime() went backwards (2757.4076411 -> 2757.992648), with the
right hand side number increasing periodically. After I hard-boot
the machine it carries on as normal again for 20-30 minutes before
reverting to it's zombie state.

Booting a kernel prior to the SMPNG changes does not have the same
problems. Should I revert to PRE_SMPNG days, with a cvsup tag of 
*default release=cvs tag=PRE_SMPNG ?

Here is the output of dmesg :
