Doug> Well, it lasted about 4 hours before locking up on me.  :(

Doug> Trying it now with both mpsafevfs and mpsafevm set to 0.

OK, we've been up for 45 hours with these settings:

debug.mpsafevfs: 0
debug.mpsafenet: 1
debug.mpsafevm: 0

I'll let it cook a few more days with these settings, and then I'll
try it with mpsafevfs turned on and leave mpsafevm off.  I'll let you
know how it goes.

Again, thanks for the tip!  This system is much faster with both CPUs
running.  :)
