I suspect that > 4.51 is bigger and therefore this may be VM related. FWIW, I had the 'tight loop' problem a lot from 4.04-4.08. Running 4.5 now and have had the problem once in about 2 months. Used to get it about every week with 4.0x. 4.0x also crashed fairly often on sig10's, which I haven't seen with 4.5. It's certainly bigger, and it FEELS slower interactively sometimes, but it not crashing (with my customary 25+ windows open) is well worth that. --- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | Matthew Fuller http://www.over-yonder.net/ | * fullermd@futuresouth.com fullermd@over-yonder.net * | UNIX Systems Administrator Specializing in FreeBSD | * FutureSouth Communications ISPHelp ISP Consulting * | "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, | * is because I haven't figured out how to light the * | middle yet" | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
