Hehe...I have no RAM problems. 192MB+650MB of Swap, and I've been able to fail it completely on an unloaded system. Furthermore, it *used* to work so I don't think that suddenly "I don't have enough swap". I don't even have enough running to crash up against login.conf, the evil I usually blame everything on. (Have I said login.conf was a huge step backward? It was. :-) I went through last night and rebuilt the world, then rebuilt the kernel. For good measure I rebuit xemacs today. AND...it's still broken here. Am I alone in this? I guess I wouldn't be totally surprised to find out something was screwed with my system. The damage seems to be limited to xemacs. To recap, I can get xemacs to hang generally in a matter of minutes. I open a couple of files -- typically in a couple of different modes, I use LaTeX and IDL a lot. Then suddenly it goes to sleep, no longer redraws itself, hangs itself hard. Not sure why.
