I've seen similar things happen on my 3.0-RELEASE system. If all running programs can remain paged in, the system runs fine. Once processes start getting swapped out, I get corruption when pages are paged in from swap. Header files get an occasional random character changed in them, shared libraries crash with SEGV errors (once libc.so became 'corrupted' and I had to reboot), builds fail randomly and the system basically goes into chaos and occassionally crashes. Since there's no a.out gdb compiled I went to compile the latest gdb with a.out support, but it blew up in syntax errors. What version of gdb will actually build on 3.0 with a.out support so I can debug my crash dumps? -- Stephen Kiernan stevek@tis.com TIS Labs at Network Associates, Inc.
