Hi all, |

On my new r12 system I've had a hangup in X11. No apparent cause. The system |
4 |
stopped accepting any input and the screen didn't even complete a redraw. The |
5 |
mouse went on moving as it was in h/w, but clicks were no good. Magic sysrq |
6 |
wasn't responding either. |

I logged in via ssh, and top showed X was taking 100% cpu. I tried killall X, |
9 |
no effect. I tried kill -9 <X pid>, the remote login hung up and i couldn't |
10 |
ssh to it again. I had to do a hard reboot. |
11 |
|
12 |
Then I expirienced the same effect twice on an old rc5 system which underwent |
13 |
absolutely no updates or config changes for a few months now. Only this was |
14 |
standalone not on a net, so I couldn't login via ssh. |
15 |
|
16 |
Both rc6 lockups were when running kmail, both rc5 lockups while running |
17 |
ksirc. |

Trying to send this message, I had another lockup on the rc6 system, hope |
20 |
this reaches you. |
21 |
|
22 |
I'm absolutely mystified. Ideas? Anyone seen this kind of thing before? |
