I'm running a custom kernel (i.e. I've taken out support for hardware I don't have, and added sound support), but I don't build with any optimizations, not even O1. I managed to reproduce the freeze just hours ago, under conditions that were different enough from when I first encountered it to make me draw the conclusion that the only common denominator is gtk-gnutella (or one of the libraries on which it depends - when I installed it, the only thing it required that I didn't already have on my system was icu). This, in turn, leads me to believe that the freezes aren't (necessarily) HTTP related (or even network related at all). The above paragraph seems to indicate that there is something in either icu or gtk-gnutella that freezes the system (I know it's the entire system and not just X because I tried to ssh into the box when it froze the last time - no go). I haven't found the trigger yet, as it took me quite a while to reproduce the freeze (typical, eh? The system freezes when you least expect it, but when you /try/ to freeze it, it just keeps flowing). I don't even know if this is exclusive to amd64, or if other platforms might experience this as well. :-( -- Henrik W Lund
