will do.  Another data point.. I've had the same image (3715) on our 
testbed for almost 2 days with no core dumps.  Differences between the 
testbed and our "real" network:  only 1 gateway, only 4 nodes, essentially 
no traffic, and all the nodes are using the same revision.  Can I make a 
valid test of new software by only upgrading a single gateway on our 
network, or do I need to upgrade the other nodes visible to the gateway 
too?
