 this problem manifests itself after about 5 days on a dual proc amd64 
 system running 5.3R.  i'd give the dmesg but it's been overwritten, but 
 the system is a ibm eseries server.
 
 any ideas how to fix/get around this would be greatly appreciated as 
 it's hampering stress testing on this system vs a redhat aes server (boo!)
