Only one week ;-) Think I need the same time. :-)

I tried to run mol-0.9.56 with the MacOS of the TiPB and was not able to
get running for longer than about 10 minutes after that my TiPB with
kernel 2.4.2 locks completly. (Was not able to login over ethernet had
to hard reboot)
There is a problem between MacOS 9.1 and mol.
My pismo runs rock-solid with mol (MacOS 9.0.4) and 2.4.2 but my TiPB is
instable with the same kernel and mol running MacOS 9.1.
Bye,
Christoph
