The first thing I would be worrying about would be whether you're suffering a subtle problem with your IDE interface; if you're hosting over the top of Helios, I presume that you're using a virtual disk emulation? Failing that, it could be that you have the Dave Rivers Memorial Problem; note that nobody has been able to reproduce his symptoms in a controlled environment so we can't actually tell what's going on. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
