Hello all,
I have a SS4 (32Meg) with a 2.0_BETA install from releng (20040531000), 
running GENERIC.  Since it is my "always-on" machine with few tasks (dyndns 
updates, private FTP, ssh gateway) I decided it could be used to run some 
bittorrents...

However, either the bitorrent process (that is, the python interpreter) or 
the fact that load is heavy causes a machine lock-up; sometimes silent, 
sometimes with a "Watchdog" message.

So far, I have only been able to cause that to happen with 
"btlaunchmanycurses.py" which is why I am suspecting the heavy load issue 
somewhat.

I have't done any kernel debugging, but if someone tells me what to do to 
obtain more info, I'd be happy to oblige.  I have other (i386) NetBSD and 
Linux machines on my network, so provided I can get a Sparc-PeeCee null 
modem cable I could do remote debugging.

Joe.
