Also recent (post 2288) kernels for FC5 have had a problem where processes
start hanging after a while. On a machine where this was happening about
everyday I stayed with 2288 to avoid problems. On another machine where
it happened about every 7 days I stuck with the latest kernels to try to
help locate the problem so that it could be fixed. That machine is now on F7
and I'll get to see if the regression is also in F7 kernels.
