What? That isn't why it is being taken out at all! It is being taken out
because it is considered too valuable of an asset to be given away in the
free version (since there are not CPU limits). Not sure I personally agree
but that is the reasoning. Just for the record, there has only ever been
one SMP related bug in any release that was a kernel issue. Most problems
people have seen on SMP machines have been threaded applications taking a
fit.
Todd - where is the lockup happening? Is the entire machine locking up or
just XPhoton or just Photon?
