Hi folks,

I've created a bugzilla entry for this at:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=156627

I did notice one odd thing and about the crashes and that was that they
seemed to happen at the "top of the hour".  So maybe something was
kicked off by cron that caused the lockup?  Anyway, its just a wild
guess.

Please add your comments and hardware notes to the bug.  And perhaps
someone can suggest ways to diagnose it?

thank you,
Ed
