I hope this is not too old news for all of You. I tried 5.3-BETA3 on a PIII-700. There are times all my userland stuff crashes (signal 11 -> coredump) on invocation. That means for some time the system seems to run nice and stable. Then 50 invocations of sh (in make) or getty or similar fast respawning things just crash. If this happens too often (I can't give numbers!) all programs crash when executed. This ends in the whole system beeing unable to shutdown because it can't start any new processes. All running processes seem to continue working just fine. It can also happen, that after waiting some time this effectr goes away and the system again seems to work stable. Regards, Robert S.
