Since downgrading mesa to 7.3, I had 2 freezes over a period of about 5 days or so. I then went back to 7.4 and in the space of 12 hours had 3 freezes.
It makes me wonder if there are two freeze issues - one low frequency one in 7.3, and a higher frequency one in 7.4. Certainly there were already a number of reports of freezes prior to 4/3, just that we had a spurt of i965-specific ones after 4/3.
Update from some of my testing and research...
