I've had this on one of my computers for much longer than you and it did it for XFree86-4, Xorg-6.x and Xorg-7.x. It can take days or minutes to happen and it only affects X. I can ssh in and restart X. Last time I looked, the X server was recieveng SIGALRMs at a rate that used 100% CPU. My hardware is a dual-P3 with a nvidia GeForce4 MX 440 running the latest current. Sorry I don't have a solution. Ian -- Ian Freislich
