See, and this is the same exact problem we are having. We run a MUD game on one of our 2.0.5 machines, and it SEG_FAULT's at LEAST once an hour, sometimes as often as every 5 to 10 minutes. This was both with the distributed kernel, and our rebuilt kernels. The same exact game ran just fine for DAYS under 1.1.5.1, no problems what-so-ever. I think there is some serious problem stuck somewhere deep in the 2.0 conversion. More than likely it's memory related. ;) -- Rob
