No we haven't tried the final 36 I should have said 36preX..(apologies
:)).. I was under the impression from previous posts that SMP work was
being put mainly into 2.1.X series and so we abandoned 2.0.X series about
2 months ago.. in an attempt to solve the lockups. (However, having said
that I have seen that there is a lot of effort in the 2.0 series to
improve/stabilize SMP..so perhaps our reasoning was flawed in moving to
2.1?)
For our production machines would the recommendations be to return to the
2.0.X for SMP? Was the oops I posted of any help in pointing to the
possible source of the problem?

Andy
