Everyone - As an example of something that crashes 2.1.5 (fairly quickly, I may add) and will not likely be determined by 'crashme'. I offer the following shell script. This shell script has the other attribute that it behaves somewhat like a news server that's frequently expiring and getting news batches 24 hours a day (i.e. deleting a lot of files and altering others). This was reported against 2.2-current about a month ago. If you run about eight instances of this shell script in the same directory; you're machine will reboot... [I just got through recovering from the reboot myself.] I don't think it has anything to do with my particular problem, since the panic isn't for the same reason. I just wanted to show it as an example of a similar type of problem that crashme would not diagnose. If anyone has access to a LINUX box - I'd be interested in hearing what happens if you perform the same test there... - Dave Rivers - ---------------------- cut here ---------------- #!/bin/sh mkdir loser while true do touch loser/abc mv loser/abc loser/def done
