sorry i was out of home yesterday. my gf is a
stylist and she made clothes for an event where
kenzo people were present and there was plenty,
plenty beautiful girls and i had access to the
backstage so.. well, i went there rather than
checking my netbsd for a backtrace. i know you
will forgive me huh ! :D

ok. here we go for the backtrace. my machine
runs a 

NetBSD gilbou.shacknet.nu 1.6ZK NetBSD 1.6ZK (X30)
#0: Wed Feb 18 23:33:45 UTC 2004
root@gilbou.shacknet.nu:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/X30 i386

my kernel is a GENERIC copy with apm turned on,
dont disable interrupts in apm. no other change
there.

i am using softdeps.

dmesg follows if required but probably not really
useful.
