SubjectRe: Solid v2.1.115 kernel lockup
[keep in mind i'm on a smp system]

Until around .101 or so I had X lockup on me if I switched modes while
playing sound (ie. went into or out of X).

.101 would lock if I was playing sound while there was long peroids of
heavy network traffic.

didn't use .101 to .105

.105 to .114 locks hard if there is ANY disk IO.

Havn't tried .115 yet because I'm too lazy to fix my ptys.. :)
