Hmm... apparently I am not the only one who is concerned about these types of problems at InsanelyMac.

I just put a new build. Now it contains the HPET selector patches daemonES made and send me today (thanks for this!). I puzzled them into my code the last few hours, the product is now nd-2_1.

Great, I am looking forward to testing your new kernel for stability.

I will posting some detailed test results here later.

Great, I am very serious about doing some rigorous, compartive kernel stability testing here. But I will be waiting for you to complete your current development effort (there is no hurry either). I am also open to writing software to test kernel stability, so if anyone here has suggestions (or software) for ways to test kernel stability, I would like to here them.

Also, I only have BadAxe1/2 - Xeon 3060 hardware to test on now, so others with SSE2 and AMD systems (or other Intel chips) may wish to also participate for a comparision across platforms.

One more thing...

Lol nice one

I will be afraid if either Kevin Spacy or Stephen Baldwin show up on IRC lol.

Anyways if it comes to OSx security there are at minimum 2 security vulnerabilities I am aware of, still need to send a mail about them to Apple I think, so they can hopefulyl be fixed with 10.4.9 still

You know how to officially report bugs to Apple, right?: http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/

Apple is more likey to fix the security vulnerabilities if you clearly present them in well written English (I can help you with this if you want).
