This is what is called the gun-on-the-bus syndrome. If you get on a bus and fire three shots at random vectors, you may or may not hit something. If you keep getitng on different busses, and firing at those same vectors, eventually you will blow up a bus. This is why I like doing debugging on alphas.. It's like having a bus made out of nitroglycerine. The more OS's and machine types we attempt to run on, the more stuff like this will show up. (which is good, especially when patches arrive) As a side.. no.. I haven't tried crossfire on my alpha yet.
