It *must* be a virus, transmitted by netnews!  This *just* happened on our 750
today (with SI 9766's on MBA); hitting RESET on the SI 9400 controller made the
system wake up again (the hp.c driver reread the bad block table, incidentally),
and all took off normally.  Of course, then the other 750 hung in its internet
code, so it wasn't quite as lucky.

ANY INFO on this would be appreciated; it's not serious (yet), but I would
like to know what's going on...
