(PM) PM3 Rebooting -- Revisited

A few weeks ago there was a thread on PM3's rebooting spontaneously. One of
the possible explanations that was offered was that the LAN might be
saturated. Well, I've had this happening over the past few days, so I've
bneen monitoring 'sho netstat' on the PM. Haven't been able to get out to
the POP to hook up a terminal yet, so this is all I have:

At approximately 15:15 today the box rebooted. It had:

Uptime: 1 hour 30 minutes
Inpkts: 387461
InErr: 0
Outpkts: 503004
Err: 0
Coll: 5304
Resets: 0

Then at about 16:30 it rebooted again:

Uptime: 1 hour 15 minutes
Inpkts: 259179
InErr: 0
Outpkts: 254450
OutErr: 0
Coll: 2008
Resets: 0

This particular PM is the only one showing this trouble, but it is the
busiest of our four. It is running 3.8b15 with 4M of ram. Is it reasonable
to think that putting in a switch will help curb this problem or should I
look elsewhere?

Thanks to all,

</Adam>
