I'm not surprised.  I've been running 2.6.31-rc5 on my Dual PIII and
it's locked up three times now.  I expect it to lockup before I get
home today too.  

I guess I really need to start the long term bisection parade and see
where the changes between 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 really are which causes
this problem.
