And...I have another one, this one's unusual compared with the others  
(in that it looks like something in the aac driver noticed a problem;  
but, as you can see, the system kept running...I didn't get  
notification of services having a problem till hours after those  
messages started).

If you want some comparisons, I have two recent hangs from one of my  
RELENG_5 machines, too:

I'll respond to my original post in -stable with the RELENG_5 hangs  
if needed.


Thank you,
