When I upgraded from 4.76 to 4.77 I did get some increased instability.
At times when I open multiple browser windows it suddenly just goes
away. No lockups though. When I did notice lockups on 4.76, it appears
that the "dns-helper" could be killed and get response back. One thing
that possibly makes this different is I'm running it on SMP systems.
