Has this been resolved? I have a machine due to enter production, am
considering going back to 2.4 if there is no further information.



I haven't tried it with 2.6 since this incident. But considering that the machine in question crashed a couple of times afterwards, it may well be, that a hardware fault caused this initially. But I simply don't dare to put 2.6 again on this machine as I've no real backup of most of the data, and restoring some 100 gb from cds is really annoying.
