Re: kernel trap 9 with interrupts disabled

    Hmm.  Maybe adjust the code to panic the machine when this
    situation occurs, then see if you can get a kernel dump out
    of it.

    As to the load issue... that sounds like a classic priority
    inversion problem.  Check the 'nice' of all the processes in
    the system and see if some nice'd-down processes are hogging
    the cpu.  'ps axlww' in a big window.

    Also look at the user cpu verses system cpu percentage to see
    where the cpu is going.

:However, after the machine has been up for a while (variously from several

:That appears to be

:I did some searching and it appears that this trap sometimes happens with

:Any suggestions as to how to go about debugging this?
