OTOH, there is some sort of bug in networking with the p12 kernel, I can
with regularity crash the kernel and cause it to write a core file until
ANY disk partition runs out of capacity, I've gotten 142mb core files at
times, and you can imagine that takes awhile to generate! :-( Most of
the time after it runs out of disk space, I can regain control of the
system and continue, of course the first step is to kill off the monster
core file!
