The discussion is in the -hackers mailing list archives. In my situation, the machine hangs quite quickly (setiathome isn't able to do an entire packet of work.) This is on a P75 w/ 40meg (a laptop I have.) There was some speculation (with which I'm not sure I agree) that running setiathome causes the laptop to overheat... but, I've run this laptop "full tilt" (doing big builds, etc...) for hours without it ever overheating... Again, this is 3.2R - not 3.2S. - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
