They were defined, but it never dropped into the debugger, just
a reboot... and fsck.

I changed the CPU and it still failed, so last night (this morning :( )
I put -current on the machine, and it has been running without any
problems since.  I'm really sorry I could not do more to help debug this,
but the box is a production machine, and there are real issues with it
not running.

Thanks for the input.  Hopefully some of the others in this thread
who ARE having the problem will be able to help track it down.
