turns out the issues i was having with my 2.6.11 system were due to the 
multi-band eq plugin (in steve harris' package). i decided to try this 
new 2.6.12-0.12 kernel anyway, and it does not lock up for me as 
2.6.12-0.9 did.

so far, if i avoid the multi-band plugin, it's looking rock solid for me!

thanks again, fernando!
