I've had this on -STABLE as well and indeed KDE seems to be related. Also, = I=20 recall this to happen during the security check or rebuilding the locate=20 database. I haven't seen this once I installed more memory. A good tell-tale is: * Switch to the console. * Select another VT, via ALT-F2 * Type in the login name and press enter You won't get a passwd prompt. Most of the time I got outof it, by CTRL-ALT-F1 and CTRL-C. I think I have a weekly run report somewhere, reporting 'vm exhaustion'=20 errors. I can dig it up if it's helpful. At the time, the box had 128Megs of RAM and 256MB swap, P-III 450. =2D-=20 Melvyn =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =46reeBSD sarevok.webteckies.org 5.2-BETA FreeBSD 5.2-BETA #1: Sat Nov 29=20 00:15:33 CET 2003 root@sarevok.webteckies.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ SAREVOK_NOFW_DBG i386 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D --Boundary-02=_wS0y/3lEeRq10Hw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA/y0SwOv9JNmfFN5URAhWwAJ0f2nCV8dTfYz7nLnRrhDBmFXRDnACgqGnR pssP7sri3T2EuxgdB8aOJr8= =/ZFj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_wS0y/3lEeRq10Hw--
