I/O. Possible correction/clarification to this one: It seems that new processes cannot be started, but file system I/O is possible. Existing processes work. I really miss a "Panic" button here, by any chance could it be implemented somehow (adding code to pcvt to make some little-used key to panic and dump, for example). - This happened today three times in row - I has happened before, but not this frequently It has happened... - There is nothing special on console - It apparently happens on very loaded systems only This evening it has happended twice. I replaced Intel plato motherboard with ASUS to see if that has any effect. -- Heikki Suonsivu, T{ysikuu 10 C 83/02210 Espoo/FINLAND, hsu@clinet.fi work +358-0-4375209 fax -4555276 home -8031121
