Uh-oh... I've been having system freezes since I upgraded from 2.0.30
to 2.0.31pre9, but I put it down to a hardware fault.

I have a Adaptec 152x SCSI card with an often-used always-mounted ZIP
drive on it. 48mb of RAM, Cx5x86, no-name VIP motherboard. My system
is usually loaded when it freezes, though not usually accessing the
SCSI ZIP drive at that point. Freeze occurs once or twice per day.
