continuing problems on a i386DX @ 20Mhz 8 meg system running PPP
as a gateway and httpd 

performed one patch on isa_machdep 
#include "sl.h"
#include "ppp.h"
#if NSL > 0 || NPPP > 0
        /* In the presence of SLIP or PPP, imp > tty. */
        imask[IPL_IMP] |= imask[IPL_TTY];
        imask[IPL_NET] |= imask[IPL_TTY];
#endif

which seems to have increased the mean time between crashes 

suggestions that this is a NFS problem have been negated by compiling 
a kernel without NFS.  This kernel has still crashed twice today.
