I realize this was discussed at great length about a month ago, but apparently
I missed the discussion, the box is rebooting on it's own, no messages,
nothing.  I am wondering what I can do to help tackle the problem, should
I recompile the kernel with any of the debugging options, which ones?

What I am also wondering is what does rtq_reallyold mean?  It sounds like by
looking at the code that it is a routing table expiration time, and as the
more the routing table gets filled the quicker it desires to expire, and
probably eventually just expiring on the fly.  The machine sees an extreme
amount of network traffic.

But I still can't figure out why it is crashing, we have also modified the
kernel to support a larger number of client connections, by increasing
maxusers to 128, OPEN_MAX=256, CHILD_MAX=256, FD_SETSIZE=4096, NMBCLUSTERS=6144

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, I can be contacted via e-mail
at cmwagner@sodre.net.
