Actually, it is license manager that comes with the SCO WordPerfect
which, incidentally, works on linux but I don't think that is too
relevant here.
Unfortunately I don't really have the time to dive into kernel debugging
at the moment. Also aside from a -current kernel I can boot, my system
is -stable and it is pretty important that it stay that way at the
moment. Its sort of a hassle working when basic things like ps don't
work. Maybe once summer rolls around...
However, if anyone has particular ideas of what may be going on and can
provide a relatively simple experiment for me to try, I'm game.
As a note, there is a good 5 or 10 seconds between freezing and when the
screen goes blank which would be enough time to read console messages.
