Nasty
-----

Annoying
--------

Cosmetic/Experimental Only
--------------------------

Why do a lot of the socket destroy delayed people have an SMC ultra - chance
or driver bug

Unduplicated
------------

Stale messages on PPro + myrinet - hardware or software ?
UDP flood crash on Digital alpha
Crash in APM with .8

running out of memory crashes - is this a libc5.3.12/mmap/mremap not being
properly subject to limit issue ?
