Not me.  Box seems to be fairly sure that it is bfq.  Twice again box
went belly up on me in fairly short order with bfq, but seemed fine
with deadline.  I'm currently running deadline again, and box again
seems solid, thought I won't say _is_ solid until it's been happily
trundling along with deadline for a quite a bit longer.

I was ssh'd in during the last episode, got this out.  I should be
getting crash dumps, but seems kdump is only working intermittently
atm.  I did get one earlier, but 3 of 4 times not.  Hohum.
