I think you need to define "random"; do you mean "rare in frequency over time at unpredicatable intervals" or "you never know what program is going to get shot in the head, every 5 seconds, like clockwork"? My impression so far in this therad is that it's the former. If it's the latter, then I need to think about the problem differently. Note that you can identify the patch that caused the problem, if there's an 8 day difference, in no more than 4 kernel recompiles (log2(8)+1), if you have a local CVS mirror. -- Terry
