    Downgrading nvidia-driver to 195.22 has been pointing a smoking
gun at a regression in 195.36.15 with my configuration, as my system
has not hung up once since I downgraded both machines, whereas I ruled
out the issue by disabling all of the other experimental features I
may have been tweaking around with rather quickly (my monkeying around
with the power settings and the rtc was causing some variance as well
between the two machines).
    Others have reported similar issues with panics on #bsdports.
Thanks,
