Yea, except I remembered there being some discussion on the list regarding
NFS 'round about the introduction of the 5.x branch. Which is about the same
time things started getting strange on my end. I simply waited to upgrade any
further until things quieted down on the list and then upgraded (to 6.2).

Understood. I'll make the proper preperation(s) and copy a file to
an NFS mount. Works every time.

Actually on most of them. But only violently on the one I mentioned here.

I wondered the same at first. So I first swaped out the video card for
one that was a little slower and less inclined to be touchy. Rebuilt &
installed anything related... to no avail. So I bought a new MB, RAM,
HD, & video card. Built everything anew. Again, to no avail (it's now the
one I'm mentioning here). I considered the install CD, but the MD5 matched,
and my procedure is miminal (smallest possible) install > reboot && install
cvsupwithoutgui > cvsup src && ports > edit kernconf > make && buildworld &&
make && installkernel > reboot -s > mergemaster -p && installworld > 
mergemaster
&& reboot. So I don't think the CD would be a factor. Being new hardware
didn't seem to help either.

Anyway, thank you for taking the time to respond.
