Given this, I figured that there might be some inconsistancy in the filesystem. Long-story-short: fsck'ing everything found that my /var fs was damaged. It's been a day or two since I did the fs check and clean. So far, so good. You might want to try doing a number of fsck runs until everything is *clean*. Reboot and see if the lockup problem reoccurs. gary line
