If the adb hardware restarts the mac on its own, there is no way to =
record it on a log. If there was an applications crash, it would be =
recorded in the log bu the s/w, then (I set the option) maccoach s/w =
stops reseting the timer in the adb h/w which causes the h/w to restart =

I think this is a long hang. I believe the short hangs, I mentioned =
before, are not TB2 because I sometimes see the clock stop, for a short =
time, when I am on-site.
