"crash" is about as helpful as "it's broken!". Are core files generated? Are there any error messages? Does the machine instantaneously reboot? Hard-freeze? You also might want to try running the programs under a debugger. 4.6 to 4.10 is a pretty big jump. Altogether, it'd probably be best to tar up your configuration files, clean-install 4.10 (or 5.3 for that matter) and manually merge your changes in, consulting any documentation available for the 4.6 -> 4.7, 4.7 -> 4.8, 4.8 -> 4.9, and 4.9 -> 4.10 upgrades to make sure you get your config files updated properly. -- Adam Fabian (afabian@austin.rr.com)
