FreeBSD 6.2-REL, system lockup, recovers when keyboard pressed

Sorry all, I typo'd -- the system is 6.2-REL, not 6.0-REL.

Does that make the answer any clearer? (maybe it's fresher in people's minds?)

Is confidence high that an update to 6.2-STABLE would sort this out?
(I'd really love a bug fix reference).

cheers,
Dale
