Yes, I could do a trace. Immediately after the trace, everything froze,
and the programmer's switch refused to work again. Do you need to see the
trace?

Unfortunately, the answer to both questions is "no"

I certainly hope so! It's so strange to just "freeze" after a 6 day
uptime! And before that I had a 20 day uptime, broken only by a power
outage. So, as you can see, it was an EXTREMELY stable machine.
I already am missing NetBSD. I find it hard to live without. I'd really
like to get this rectified :)
The weird thing is: I changed exactly nothing with my machine at least
24-48 hours before it just started freezing. I didn't even download
anything, compile anything, etc. It was just so extremely strange!
Thanks a lot Colin :)
