I think I've found and fixed the problem I was having at high
CPU clock speeds. I found and applied Frank Maclachlan's DMA fixes
posted about a month ago on this group, and the system hasn't crashed
since. I've exercised it by rebuilding the kernel a half dozen times;
before the fix it usually crashed several times before finishing it
even once.
