The bizzare bits.. it does it both on a smp and up kernel, it also does it regardless of weather its on the console or in X, and regardless of if vi is execed on itself or ssh'd into another machine (had it happen when ssh'd into both a linux box and a 4-stable machines). I don't think its a video card issues as its doing it with different video cards, and the machine happily works in all other aspects. it can buildworld and kernel happily while compiling several ports, so i doubt its an obvious hardware problem (eg. bad memory). I have other current systems, that are not exibiting this behaviour, so i don't think its a problem with current in general, but i'm clue-less as to what could be the cause of this. any one have any ideas? -- Jacob "I'm Brainy For Zombie Pops" Frelinger Jolly at TheCoffinClub dot Com http://www.thecoffinclub.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
