Yeah, it's occurred to me, but it's yet to happen. I fought with the thing
for 48 hours, and after settling on a K6 kernel w/'Enhanced' enabled, I've
not had a single problem. I suppose it's possible that I've not seen the
problem, but I've put this box through it's paces many times over since I
settled. I gave it another go with 2.4.6-pre3 this morning, hoping something
had snuck in ;)
