Toasted in what way? This is a simple (though large box) with only lo and
eth0.

If there's a problem here, it's eluding me...but I'm ill and quite tired.

Actually, I'd like to see a pre-pre-patch-2.0.31-3 that includes
pre-2.0.31-2 plus the memory management fixes...so I can upgrade yoda.
This mess with 2.0.30-x has me wondering whether its time to start looking
at BSD again.
