	Well, allegedly the lock-up could be caused by QUOTAs
	code or "rlogin" command under cirtain circumstances
	( it was reorted here a day ago) .

	I'm expiriencing the stuff regularly on P90/128Mb/Bustec.

	Never had the problem with previous SNAP code :(
	
	If any1 here thinks about switching to 205 to run  the
	server - DO NOT DO IT ! The system is not stable :( Alas :(


	Nodoby apparently is working on those mysterious lock-ups.
	What's the position of the chief architect - Jordan ? 

	Should we really be concerned about bleeding edge instead
	of robustness ??? 1% enhancements and not the way to smoothly
	upgrade the system with new version ? How can FreeBSD get 
	its share of market w/o it ? Who will be willing to run 
	the system but computer geeks ? 

	It's clear that FreeBSD outbits Linux as server. But w/o
	non-working QUOTAs and constant lock-ups in 205 who will
	use it ? 
	It's also clear it's constantly loosing the the workstation
	market - Linux is everywhere ... The books - 4 or 5 of
	them are out there already .. the support for the latest
	video-cards...

	Oh boys - there IS something to worry about IMHO ...
