I am very interested in this topic as I've been waiting
since moving from FreeBSD 5 in 2006. The workaround
in the errata had no effect and the only notice I
could see of something changing was the errata did
not include the problem as of FreeBSD 7.0.

I stayed with production releases and source
upgraded hoping a fix would be coming but stopped
that at 6.2 when I saw no related changes (re:
your messages in 12/2006 - 02/2007). I was
planning to move to 7.0 based on the lack of the
error description in the 7.0 errata. If no patch has
been made, I'd prefer to keep an otherwise stable
system status quo.

I guess now I'd really like to know if this has been
fixed or not. I've been tied to my monitor for near
two years now because of one system that seems
to exhibit the problem regardless of what hardware
we put in the role. Without a dump I've never been
able to say that THIS problem is MY problem but the
earmarks are there and I've just been waiting.

Doesn't 7.0 fix this? I'd like to see an official
definitive answer and all I've been going on is that
the problem description is no longer in the errata.

Thanks
