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: 7596 swriter3 GIO fd 4 read 103 bytes "íÀ\M^E\M^C\0\^A\0\0\0\^A\0\0\afreebie\^Elemis\^Ccom\^Elemis\^Ccom\0\0\^A\0\^A\^Elemis\^Ccom\0\0\^F\0\^A\0\^AQ\ \M^@\0%\afreebieÀ-\^DgrogÀ-\^EÉ\\\M^E\0\^AQ\M^@\0\0\^\ \0\M^CÖ\0\0\^AQ\M^@" 7596 swriter3 RET old.recv 103/0x67 7596 swriter3 CALL setpgid(0xefbfbed0) 7596 swriter3 RET setpgid 0 7596 swriter3 CALL close(0x4) 7596 swriter3 RET close 0 7596 swriter3 CALL old.recv(0x1,0xefbfbec8) 7596 swriter3 RET old.recv 4 7596 swriter3 CALL old.recv(0x3,0xefbfbec8) 7596 swriter3 RET old.recv 0 7596 swriter3 CALL old.recv(0x9,0xefbfbec0) 7596 swriter3 GIO fd 4 wrote 45 bytes "íÀ\^A\0\0\^A\0\0\0\0\0\0\afreebie\^Elemis\^Ccom\^Elemis\^Ccom\0\0\^A\0\^A" 7596 swriter3 RET old.recv 45/0x2d 7596 swriter3 CALL setpgid(0xefbfbed0) 7596 swriter3 RET setpgid 1 7596 swriter3 CALL old.recv(0xc,0xefbfbeb0) 7596 swriter3 GIO fd 4 read 103 bytes "íÀ\M^E\M^C\0\^A\0\0\0\^A\0\0\afreebie\^Elemis\^Ccom\^Elemis\^Ccom\0\0\^A\0\^A\^Elemis\^Ccom\0\0\^F\0\^A\0\^AQ\ \M^@\0%\afreebieÀ-\^DgrogÀ-\^EÉ\\\M^E\0\^AQ\M^@\0\0\^\ \0\M^CÖ\0\0\^AQ\M^@" 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
