Spontaneous Reboot w/ 2.1.43

Hey, guys!

My 486DX33 hasn't taken too well to 2.1.43, and is spontaneously
rebooting... I _think_ it's being tickled somehow by networking
over PPP, but can't be certain just yet. (fsck'ing my disks each
time has made "sitting down to find it" a tediously unappealing
task.)

Basically, I start the system, run ppp-on, and whenever I start
a network client (eg Netscape) the system does a warm reboot.
It's happened twice, and I'm backed off to 2.1.42 for the moment.
I'll try again this evening, and maybe find a more exact cause.

Is anyone else seeing this, or am I on my own ;-) ?
