Truncating /dev/audio (although this seems to have been fixed in 4.1.3, or at least 4.1.3_U1). Doing unexpected things the streams networking drivers seems to do nicely, too. I used to have a big list of things to panic suns, but I've misplaced it. I'll search about and see what I can dig up and check what still panics my current machines. Generally speaking, "unusual" operations on streams drivers seem to make 4.1.X machines go gaga. I haven't tried playing with the mouse driver; it looks like a nice place to check next. I also haven't tried running the program that generates random code and executes it lately. I believe it was called something like "crashme" but I'm probably wrong. I recall that it used to do nicely under older 4.1.X environments, though the latest 4.1.3s might not go south any longer. I'll have to check... Perry
