My record (3 trys) is 5 minutes until it panics) I tried to reproduce your problem with a -current SMP kernel from October 26th. I ran two processes simultaneously for about 20 minutes or so without problems. Try upgrading your kernel to something current, and see if that makes any difference. In case it matters, I'm running: ASUS P/I-P65UP5 w/ C-P6ND cpu card with 2 Pentium Pro 200's (256K cache) 128MB parity RAM Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@plutotech.com
