this kernel has been running correctly for weeks.  only when i tried running
"aux/timesync -f /srv/sources". (i accidently had two running at once at one point.)
did things go haywire. killing the timesync procs has not helped.

so, without the benefit of timesync,  have not seen any problems. i may
be having a different or only sightly related problem.  especially since i have
neither a realtech, gbe, amd nor a multicore processor.  just a "blue-light
special" va linux dual coppermine.
