A friend of mine is having trouble with one CPU hanging in his dual G4
under MacOS X. You may want to check to make sure you don't have a hardware
problem.

The symptoms are pretty much (from what he's told me): The system runs for
a while, then one of the CPUs goes off into la-la land never to return
again. Not very complicated.
