hi folks.


my G4/733 seems pretty unstable.  i can't run it for more than a couple
of days without it hanging it seems.  it isn't a complete hang, as tcp
connection are accepted still, ping works, but no processes appear to be
scheduled.  i finally was not running X when it hung, and attempted to
drop to ddb but all i got was this (from my msgbuf):


trap type 1300 at 29e180
panic: trap

i'm not sure what this trace is telling me.  everything from
'do_pending_int' is probably from my ctl-alt-esc... but what's
the rest of it saying?


anyone have a clue here?  it's been plaguing me for a year or so
(ever since i setup the machine) but seems to have gotten worse
in the past month or so.  i've never been able to get anything more
than "hangs, but can still ping" from it....
