I've tried several things to try and fix this. - I've deinstalled packages to see if ports was any better and vice versa. - I've cleaned out /tmp, /var/tmp, and /var/lock and checked free space. - getting the vanilla sources from the origional FTP site and compiling them I've tried everything I can think of and I'm wondering, why is this happening and what can I do to fix it? Thanks for your time and consideration.
