/var/log/messages contains the following:
Feb 16 22:06:12 /kernel: pid 632 (rt2), uid 1001: exited on signal 12
(core dumped)
What's a signal 12? Is there a list, somewhere, on what the
different signal errors are? They come up every once in a while and are,
of course, entirely cryptic without the secret decoder ring :)

Ah, great. I'm running linux_base ver. 5.2 .
I hope that this additional info helps illuminate my problem.
Though I suppose I'm not terribly optimistic. . . Is there any other
way I can find out more about what its doing?
