I'm sure there is an SMP problem in 2.0.33.  I know that it's not
Buslogic specific because the problems exist on systems without
Buslogic cards.  I am still occasionally seeing "black screen" hangs,
and "scheduling in interrupt" errors.

I don't have the time to track these down, but am willing to run some
tests for people or provide remote hardware access.  I'll loan Leonard
a system if that will help.
