Hmmm.  The g3/beige is my dev box - the interval between reboots for new
kernels is much less than that ;-)

I don't (necessarily) think this is the same problem - with the corruption I
was seeing  booting using the BootX *app* I was struggling to get 2 hours
uptime ... it was crashing with illegal instruction oopses in the network
stack.
