Hey guys,
I understand that this is way to late in the release cycle to even start
thinking about this issue, but I want you to know about it. And if you
have any ideas about it -- I would appreciate your thoughts on what
could be causing the problem. If you are really working your bum off to
make this next release the best possible and completely bug-free and
can't find the time to respond or think about this till after the 15th,
please feel free to ignore it until your queue is a little less full.
BTW: I have been tracking stable and build about once every three days,
and I have had no issues yet! Keep up the great work.
This problem has existed for a while, and I don't consider it fatal.
Just really scary the first time it happens to you. When my printer
{Cannon BJC 6000} runs out of paper it will sometimes freeze the whole
system while it busy-waits [I assume] for more paper to be inserted.
Nothing will work, at least in X (again I forgot to try and get to the
console), until more paper is inserted. Than the system just goes on
its merry way without a word. Now, if this happened every time I ran out
of paper I would consider this a pretty large problem. But it apparently
is based on the phase of the moon or something as obscure. I am no
closer now to figuring out what is causing this than the last time
I posted this. I am resending this message because I did not get any
response at all. If this is a wrong place to bring it up, I will submit
it using GNATS. I just thought you guys would want to know.
If you need any more information I am willing to help where I can. But
please don't consider this urgent. While I would appreciate a response
of some type, I would much rather have 4.3 be the best possible release.
But if you need a quick break from the immediate issues and don't want
to get out of the mindset -- here is a little problem for you to think
about.
