The Toshiba never crashes, I run Netscape mail xmms whatnot from the Linux machine, however the Dell crashes on a consistant manner with X11 forwarding. Often its during a key press sometimes its just at random. But the Dell is also used on other networks, where it never crashes while X11 forwarding. Since this is a multiplatform environment, and the method of running X applications, from one machine to the other, finding "where" the bug is, can be difficult, and as I feel reluctant to provide logs and kernel dumps of both machines. I do suspect it is a problem on the 3.3-RELEASE side though, but that still can be unsure, just becuase ssh2 works on other *BSD's doesn't make it exempt. >How-To-Repeat: Set up sshd2 (latest and greatest) on a Linux machine (2.2.x)/RedHat 6.0 install ssh2 on a 3.3-RELEASE box, *possibly with PAO drivers*. Start running X applications from the Linux machine. Netscape, gimp etc. Givin time the 3.3-R machine will completely crash. The longest I have gotten it to maintain "normal" operations was approximately 36 hours, till I hit "home" in xmms to select a song to listen to. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
