By the way, the machine is a dual AthlonMP-2400+ with a Matrox 550 graphics card (DRI enabled). This behavior happened most recently with a -CURRENT from May 16, 2003.

This "event" has happened twice in two months so it is relatively rare. -- Glenn Johnson USDA, ARS, SRRC Phone: (504) 286-4252 New Orleans, LA 70124 e-mail: gjohnson@srrc.ars.usda.gov
