Conclusion of thread "Deadlocks with recent SMP current"?

[same message is in moderation queue]

     Hi,

     was there any conclusion to that thread?  I have got two
     systems which are showing the exact same symptoms running
     RELENG_5_2.  The busier one deadlocks regularly once a day.

     What is the recommended way to procede?  I don't want to
     upgrade to RELENG_5 due to the experimental nature of the
     network stack, gcc 3.4 integration and general dislike of
     bleeding edge software for production systems. (and yes, the
     freebsd 5 systems are inherited.)

     Thanks for any advise.
