Maybe now I can concentrate... The coredumps are the reported result of SIGSEGV (11) -- segmentation fault. We can now add grep to the list. Another detail which may be pertinent is that I have two swap areas: Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/sd0s1b 32768 13664 19040 42% Interleaved /dev/sd1s1b 32768 13532 19172 41% Interleaved Total 65408 27196 38212 42% Thinking back, I DID have a FEW unexplained SIGSEGV's under 2.0.5, but they were MUCH less rare -- about 1/week -- and the only one I can remember is xearth as run a couple of times a day from my .xsession file. Now, under 2.1, they are happening about a dozen times per day. Even though this is a VL motherboard, I have no VL-bus equipment at all. All boards are ISA.
