Greetings, and thank you for your reply.
FWIW it was only 4 lines, each beginning with ei followed by their hex values.
Like I said originally, I can crash it at will. If the "ei" lines make the
difference, I can crash it and write them down. The values aren't that long.
I hate to crash it, but it's crashed so many times while experimenting
in an effort to find a way (KLUDGE) to get around it, I've got more salvaged
inodes in lost+found than I have files on an entire FreeBSD install.
Point being; if it /really/ makes the difference to have the "ei" values,
I'll just crash it and record them to post here.
It just seems that this /type/ of output would be an indicator to "those
in the know" as to where I need to go about overcoming this - assuming it's
on my end and not in the 6x i386/sys source.

Thanks again.
