Well, I thought 2.0.5-6/22 would have fixed one of the reboot problems I
noticed in the March and April snaps, but I guess not. Maybe no one ever
mentioned it. I don't think these problems are hardware specific because
these sudden reboots happen not only my 486-100, but also on the 386-40.
The system just rebooted all by itself while I was composing a message.
Here's a copy of the ps ax.

I think the problem has to do with the pppd or ppp support. I use pppd
to connect to my service provider. In the past using the snaps, the
system had a tendency to reboot if I killed pppd, added a route with
the route add command when routed was running, or when there was net access
remotely. I switched to gated on the SNAPs, and those reboots dropped
significantly.
I think the reboot problem has something to do with the ppp code. I never
saw reboots with slip. Sometimes with an open PPP connection using pppd,
the system would automatically reboot.
Has anyone had these problems? I guess if I don't mention them, they may
never get fixed. :-(
Thanks in advance for any help.
