Certainly doesn't happen on my P3-500 SMP system. I've finished two
buildworlds without any problems. As everyone seems to think that it
happens only on P4's, I'm not going to try it on old P2-400.
That's all I can provide, happens reliably (for months now) on my P4
and doesn't happen with P3. 5.0-RELEASE definitely needs a fix.
