My office workstation still should not have locked up hard
under those circumstances, and there is a question of why the 486
machine that I would use for running tcpdump would complain about "too
much work at interrupt" and then eventually lose network connectivity.
I suspect that the hard lockups will have to remain a mystery for
now (and they may have done away in the 101->102 changes; I have not
tried to reproduce the problem under 102). The tcpdump problem may
just be a function of trying to tcpdump a busy 100mbps ethernet from
a 486.
Anyhow, I just want to report that the problem that I
originally experienced does not occur anymore.
