I can't reproduce this wget crash, even running seti@home in the
background as you suggest.
I'm running this in dom0 on an SMP Xeon box.

Are you running NTP on your system? If so, what does "echo peers | ntpq"
show? What happens if you disable it?

Is there anything odd about the system? Is the CPU clock speed correctly
identified?

You could try the unstable tree -- it would certainly be interesting to
know if there was a difference. The issue must be really quite specific
to your machine or setup (e.g. the crystal is completely knackered) as
otherwise lots of people would be complaining.

Best,
Ian
