Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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. Kevin Brunelle --- Lost interest? It's so bad I've lost apathy. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
