Hi,

	I have been running NetBSD-current (Feb 14) for a while and I
have been getting all three of my test systems to hang.  It seems
that the boxes just stop dead.  I have two 486/66s and 386/33 doing
networking services such as unix shell services, sendmail, NFS, named
and more.  I can't get more than 2 days outta of them before they just
hang.  All three are running NE2000s.  Does anyone else run into these
problems?  Is anyone in the NetBSD core team interested in stabilizing
the NetBSD os.  I have made two postings before today.  I think this
is a kernel problem.  It may be a memory leak or a device driver that
is stuck in a loop.  I would think the latter is more credible.  Any
hope, suggestions, questions or flames would be a great help.

Tim
