Midnight crashes: Results (was Re: Midnight crashes)

[Marcello Balduccini <marcello.balduccini%ttu.edu@localhost>]

Ok, so here are the results of my tests. With 3.0BETA updated on 04/19, the
computer still crashes. On the other hand, with -current as of 04/18, it works
perfectly.

Maybe a relevant fix added to -current had not yet been transfered, as 
of 04/19,
to 3.0BETA? Do you know if it was pulled up now? I would love to use 3.0BETA
rather than -current for this server, but frankly I don't want to risk another
server crash too soon... (it is a half-production server with lots of 
important
information stored on the disks)

Anyway, I am glad it's stable now. Thanks all the help!
