Really?  Hrm.  I haven't yet seen issues with it on the 2009.06
release.

I have saved my 101b boot environment on a separate drive so i can go
back to it if it crops up, but we haven't had a crash in the last 18
hours which is a record (compared to 111a).

I've specifically testing crashing clients while performing operations
on the CIFS server, and 'svcadm disable smb/server' while clients were
performing operations, and both worked fine.

A 'svcadm enable smb/server' brought the server right back up, with no
interruptions or other oddities.  We have a few Win7 boxes around, so
I'll make sure we test with one or two of those today before I bless
this install.
