Done, I'll update when I have a new crash, thank you for the suggestion!

I was wondering if it could be HW related, even though I cannot seem to find
any HW fault.  Example, I attached 30+ USB devices as a test, R/W on all of
the flash and hard drives, no problems, this seems to occur spuriously when
little or no activity is occurring, hopefully w/FRAME POINTERS we will
get something useful next time.

I wish it was, I tried above (30+ USB devices) no crash, its more or less
random, will wait for next crash and upadte then.

Thanks for the response.

Justin.
