I had a 2.0 survive jiffie wrap just fine.. I think it killed a process
and screwed up uptime.. But otther that that it was okay..
I routienly see Novell 3.12 servers with 500+ days (saw a 1500 day once
and it hard locked while I was there, musta know we were talking about
replacing it)..
While I dont think that it should be a priority, we should fix the obvious
places and get it to where there is a chance of survival.. And perhaps put
in a panic that it should be rebooted when possible.
