  Yes, I've been running a kernel with the table-overflow fix for almost 24
hours now, and haven't seen the problem occur yet.  The longest time I saw
without it prior to the fix was about 20 hours (though I only ran that kernel
for about 2 days, so I don't have very good statistics).  So, it looks like
you have probably fixed it, at least in my case (I gather Greg still has
some trouble, though).  I'll let you know if it does happen again.

  Thanks.
