Anyway, if there are other reports, here's mine. I'd like to blame X, since I have yet to observe an X that really felt stable to me, but I suspect the culprit is more likely linux-base-fc4...shame. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that running linux programs makes BSD as unstable as linux. I just wish there was some foolproof way to protect the OS from apps killing it. But, who really cares, it's just my desktop, right? I don't run this crap on my server.
