After a couple of minutes, I had a spontaneous reboot. I also noticed that things had really slowed down right before the reboot [3 second delay to toggle the NumLock light]. I didn't catchy the exact time, but am willing to bet that I was in the middle of a popclient run when it happened, as my mailbox was corrupted, and I had to edit the /var/mail spoolfile, and re-get my mail which had the same message on the isp server [meaning that the transfer of the message never finished]. I am running softupdates. Oh yeah, I was running Netscape at the time, but the slowdown was definitely caused by the `mt erase`. This is about all the info I have at the moment. jim -- All opinions expressed are mine, if you | "I will not be pushed, stamped, think otherwise, then go jump into turbid | briefed, debriefed, indexed, or radioactive waters and yell WAHOO !!! | numbered!" - #1, "The Prisoner" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Inet: jbryant@tfs.net AX.25: kc5vdj@wv0t.#neks.ks.usa.noam grid: EM28pw voice: KC5VDJ - 6 & 2 Meters AM/FM/SSB, 70cm FM. http://www.tfs.net/~jbryant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HF/6M/2M: IC-706-MkII, 2M: HTX-212, 2M: HTX-202, 70cm: HTX-404, Packet: KPC-3+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
