Hi,
I've been running `setiathome' on FreeBSD 3.2R, having it generate
output to the console for several months (it's nice to *see* the
machine actually do something), and I've noticed that on some rare
occasions (ie: twice in 3 months), that the console hangs.
The first time it happened, I'd thought that the machine had hung,
but on the 2nd time, I noticed that it'd still accepted keyboard
input. Everything else appears to work fine, and the only data-point I
have is that I'm generating heaps of output continously to the console
for an extended period of time.
Nothing else of significance was running on the machine: std daemons,
xdm (not the active screen though), ppp.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
Jonathan Chen
