yes, machine is a dual PII/300...running SMP kernel.
kernel compiled with gcc-2.7.2.3.
I did a make clean already, but I can recompile and send you the
tty_io.o file (I haven't made any config changes).

well, I rebooted after that and have been running fine since. Verry
odd. ;(

I can do that, but like I said, things have been very stable since
then. Is there anything I can do to execersize the bug?
I have no idea how it happened...I was playing with the new version of
windowmaker I just installed, and it rebooted. I have been running the
same version since then just fine. ;(
