Config sent in earlier mail ... THIS one is very stable so far. I suspect that the chain of events in the earlier patch was that it caused some filesystem corruption and that caused the kernel oops. I had one block of a binary file turn up in lost+found after the cleanup of the andrea3 wreckage. Any idea how I might find out which file this belonged to? I now have a binary file that lived in my root filesystem that is short a block.
Andrea4 seems to be working well and "feels" faster ... will try some test tomorrow to measure it. Wonder if the time of tonites news expire might be any indication.
