The system has now been up for 58 hours straight with MSI disabled per
your suggestion.  This is almost a new record, usually it has crashed
once per day or more.  I won't open the champagne before a week more has
passed, but this looks _very_ promising!

Thank you very much for your help in tracking this down!  Be sure to let
me know if you want any more information and I'll see what I can do.
The system isn't yet back in full production, so I have a small window
of opportunity to reproduce the problem, test patches, and so on.

Regards,
