I know I don't have to be a kernel hacker to _do_ it, just to know about it 
in the first place. Of course, now I know about it, but that's just because 
y'all told me. And I still don't really know what it does. ;-)

Anyway, is there any debugging information that would be useful for these 
stability issues we're currently facing. I plan on switching to a debugging 
kernel. What information should I send? A backtrace perhaps?

Thanks again,
