Well it was too good to last. I came in this morning to find a handful
of "ad0: TIMEOUT - ..." in the messages file. It looks like the
nightly cron jobs trigger it even for kernel and world prior to May
9th. I get the sense that there are less timeouts with the older
kernel, but it could be wishful thinking. If your timeouts have really
gone away then it's possible that our problem has a different cause to
yours.

Can anyone else shed some light on this issue?

Regards,

Tony.
