The 'dying daemons bug', not the 'inetd crashes/gives "junk pointer"
messages' bug?
Let's list the facts we have here:
* Problem first spotted in January
* Problem occur on my PPro box with the combinations
- 64MB RAM/128MB swap
- 64MB RAM/256 MB swap (much less frequently than with 128MB swap)
- 80MB RAM/256 MB swap (seems more frequent than with
64MB/256MB, but I have not recorded how it behaves, so I
can't really say)
I've got a PPro 200 (Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x617 Stepping=7)
* Problem occur on a P200MMX (Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x543 Stepping=3)
with 96MB RAM and 200MB swap
* Problem has never occured on a P133 (unknown stepping) with 24MB RAM
and 64MB swap.
* Problem occur with both IDE and a bunch of different SCSI cards
(thus it seems we can eliminate the disk system)
I know of three pieces of hardware I have that I've not yet gotten
confirmation that other doesn't have:
(1) AWE64 soundboard
(2) TV card
(3) Network card - a PCI ed (though I changed to this later than first
seeing the bugs, I think...)
