Hi -- 1 week of using 2.0.34, 1st crash was within a day, while serving
an ftp request.

Just now it crashed while doing a build over an smb mount. First the
"make" process segfaulted, then everything went down a piece at a time:
the xterm, the window manager, the mouse cursor. In about 20 seconds it had
completely locked up.

The machine has 2 nics, a 3com 595 & a NE2000 plug'n'play clone. The 3com
was carrying the traffic in both cases.

Nothing much made it to the logs.

Anyone else having problems like this?

Also, is it normal to see this at boot:

^^^^^^^^^^^^

there is no eth2 device! What's up with this? I don't see this
in the other 2.0.34 machines I have running. There's no eth2
defined in conf.modules or on the boot line.

b.c.
