   Thanks for the sentiment, at last I have been able to smile about  
this problem - maybe we should start a support group ... I'll start  
... Hi, I'm John and I'm a failing sys admin, I haven't had a panic  
for 2 hours now and I'm taking it just 1 tick at a time ;-)

Just to share with the group, I had an email from Kris off of the list  
that made a lot of sense.  I'm beginning to agree with him that it is  
probably a hardware issue.  I'll go quiet now and spend some money on  
different hardware.  For anyone who finds this thread on Google, I can  
only echo Michael's comments - the thing that makes these panics so  
infuriating is that even with dodgy old hardware FreeBSD has always  
proven to be a very stable OS for me and as you can see, the community  
is always willing to help.

Thanks to all that have spent time on this issue for me.

   John
