Well, I don't know. I'd guess there'd *have* to be some correlation, but
we're not gathering enough information to see the pattern. ie: which
BIOS version, what exact BIOS options are set, what processor/speed,
what memory, what exact model of hard disk... We just may not have a big
enough sample size. Even in my case the crashes aren't predictable in
nature - 2.4.4 passed my bonnie test the first time, making me think the
problem was introduced in 2.4.5, and only failed later in normal usage -
next time I tested it it failed in the first minute or so. *Most* of the
time failures occur during the bonnie test, but at all sorts of random
times during the test.

at least leaves it disabled by default, under which conditions all
kernels are stable for me</redundant>
