No, it isn't. 5.0-release is not a production system, it's a
development system. The correct procedure when you are having problems
is to upgrade your system to the lastest version of 5.0-CURRENT to see
if the problem has already been fixed, then send mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if you are still having problems.

For dealing with panics, you should have a kernel with symbols built
so you can provide a stack trace of the problem. Being able to
identify the problem and provide a fix is strongly encouraged for
-current users.
