Bruce,
I also do testing on a dual Althon and honestly didn't bother to
research whether they'd have any affect.  Could/would they be
causing a problem?  I'll recompile without them and try again at any
rate.

As of now I haven't tried anything.  I'd image I can break to DDB as
the machine is responsive when it happens.  Can you give me any
helpful hints on what to look for and/or how to diagnose?
