Good hardware :)

There was one lasting bug very difficult to reproduce , i think that LiMing
never seen it on is hardware, sometimes the virtual machine, locks hard
after heavy work, i have run several testes including "kernel compile" /
heavy writing/reading tests and never caught it.
But when i was beginning to be confident it was ready for "production"
experimental tests it would fail :( grrrrrrrr

Because your hardware is true multithread( dual core) if the problem is a
race... you will mostly sure find it :)

Good Luck!!!

Nuno

PS: If you find the problem please share ;)  (my hardware is an OMAP3 )
