I run a bunch of Slackware Linux boxes of varying versions. As best as I can 
tell, at or around 00:00 UTC all of my Slackware 12.0 boxes crashed with a 
kernel panic. I don't think it is ntpd because it is the same version as on 12.1 
boxes (4.2.4p0) that did not crash. It may be the kernel: 2.6.21.5

Anyone else experience similar or was this coincidental and I have other issues...
