They seem to occur when I am using Xorg and Mozilla. However, the last time it happened I exited Mozilla, started Gnumeric, then when I tried to exit Gnumeric Xorg locked up and the machine rebooted. I couldn't find any messages in the logs relating to this. I have noticed, however, that Mozilla creates zombie processes. Even in Windows I have that problem with Mozilla. Maybe I need to find another WWW browser, but some of the others are based on Mozilla. How should I go about debugging the problem? Sincerely, Rob Lytle
