I did not install any plugins. DNS appears to be working: trisha% host freebsd.org freebsd.org has address 216.136.204.21 freebsd.org mail is handled by 10 mx1.freebsd.org. trisha% host www.freebsd.org www.freebsd.org has address 216.136.204.117 www.freebsd.org mail is handled by 10 mx1.freebsd.org. Poseidon and ArgoUML run just fine without freezes. When Eclipse freezes poseidon works just fine (don't know why I checked that, but I did :). None of my coursework has these freezes. Eclipse 3.1_3 was installed via make install (no other options), and 3.1.1 was installed using portupgrade eclipse. I have gtk-2.6.10_1 & gtk-1.2.10_13 installed and it looks like Eclipse is dependant on the 2.6 one. Gnome is not installed, a few gnome packages are though: gnome-icon-theme, gnomehier, gnomekeyring, gnomemimedata, gnomevfs2, libgnome, libgnomecanvas, libgnomeui. I update my installed ports about once a week, and those are up-to-date as of yesterday. Running top during a freeze shows that java is taking all my processor time. Oddly enough the system does not feel sluggish as I'd think it should when so much processor time is being used. Is there a way I could trigger a stack trace durring one of these freezes to see where it's at when it does this? Thanks again, Micah
