Hello Alexandr, currently the system is running under redhat linux 6.2 with kernel 2.2.14-5.0 and apache 1.3.14 on a intel i686 I try to reproduce this error. I think it's a security issue and should be disscused when a unnormal http-request is able to stop a running system. > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Alexandr P.
