At least it could be another useful datapoint... 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, -- Tore Anderson
