Yes, please upgrade to the latemost RELENG_6 via cvsup, build a new
kernel and report whether the problem is fixed or not.

You see, I have added a o lot of people and two mailing lists to Cc.
Please do not remove them, when replying. Thanks!

So far so good.  I updated to the latest, including jfv's revision
1.65.2.21 from this AM.

With the 6.1 ISO distribution, I would get watchdogs within seconds of
starting a file transfer (except giant locked which worked fine).

With RELENG_6 I've transfered 100's of GB via ftp and NFS over both
ethernet ports and no problems yet.

Thanks for all the hard work!
Barry
