I think there was something on this recently, but of course I ignored it
at the time... :(

I tried to lpr a ~750K ps file. I left for a bit, then when I came back to
check on it, FreeBSD was rebooting. After it came back up, I did an lprm
to get rid of the job. Shortly thereafter I ran xrn (to post this), and
it rebooted again. This time everything seems OK.

any ideas? I'm not really sure where to look to see if FreeBSD recorded what
happened...
