Funny, it doesn't do that here with a kernel built on the 28th August.
I did have problems pointing it to another machine (allegro, a BSD/OS
machine), and now it's not working right on freebie either, but it's
not hanging the machine.  It just hangs (the process, not the machine:
I'm writing this as I observer it).  I've tried ktrace, but it doesn't
give anything useful:

It seems to loop slowly on this (I'd guess one transition every few
seconds).

Last week, before I fried my P5/133, it seemed to be having a fight
with the window manager, but I couldn't keep the machine up long
enough to follow it.  Do you have any suspicions about what it wrong?

Greg
