don't know if / how this is shown but I have very
mixed results with 2.2.15 and SMP. I have seen
three crashes in 3 days. 2.2.15pre19 works for 4.5
days in a row without problems..

what I see here is that the system time is getting
almost to a halt. the time stops (in fact is very
slow) and the /proc/.interrupts show that the
timer IRQ 0 for both CPU's is halted. well not
really, if you wait long enough you'll see
increments once in a while.
