Re: Moving down from amd64 to i386 ??

Hi!

After doing some testing this is what I found out:


1) Exchanging memory on the machine did not work. Same error.
2) Trying it on another 64 bit machine with same FreeBSD (RC1) creates 
EXACT same problem
3) Installing the i386 version of RC1 instead of amd64 on the same 
machines and it works terrific. No crash.


The bt is always the same and it always crash the same, look here:
