Actually, I have seen a similar problem on 5.x WRT OpenOffice ... 0. OpenOffice hangs and cant' be killed 1. Reboot system 2. System claims all buffers flushed, then just hangs 3. After hardbooting, filesystems need fscked I noticed others with similar complaints about OpenOffice, so I haven't said much. The problem also happens pretty rarely, and I don't have any idea how to reproduce it on demand. I don't think this is _quite_ the same problem, however. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
