Next time it happens, try waiting for a while. I've had some freezes many minutes long. A 9 min one yesterday, and I've had a 12 min one before.

David's suggestion re powerd may be relevant. I'd noticed that the problem seems to happen when the system is idle. I posted earlier that it seems like I can do all sorts of work without a problem then I stop for a phone call and when I resume it hangs. I tend to notice a lot of hangs when typing an email. I have disabled powerd for now; don't really need it anyway, that was a left-over from something quite some time back. No freezes yet, but it'll take several more hours to know if this might be relevant. -jr --Sig_/.QiE91XL4Aaiz0Aml564qx+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHio/Uls33urr0k4kRAt3pAJ0WbL1O2fNejJhkamRZ0f0aAx/hFQCfb92S 6L2FX1QOApUjcRyjeAw9Ajo= =bEnH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/.QiE91XL4Aaiz0Aml564qx+--
