FreeBSD unstable on Dell 1750 using SMP?

[Rutger Bevaart]

Hello Kris (& list),

Thanks for helping the 1750 and 2850 owners on this list. Unfortunately I
cannot find any references to the leak or the fix you are referring to in
the Release errata (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/errata.html).

We are trying really hard to resolve the stability issues with our Dell
servers and would be very happy to know when the fix for what was
committed. No way we'll be upgrading to 6.0 without knowing exactly what
is going on (remembering broken 4.10 -> 5.3 systems) ...

Regards
Rutger Bevaart
