Subject:   Strange hang in Nov 3 kernel
Message-ID:  <E0vLjeQ-0006es-00@rover.village.org>

I had a strange hang with a Nov 3 -current kernel:

FreeBSD rover.village.org 3.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #0: Sun Nov  3 17:02:05 MST 1996     imp@rover.village.org:/jaz/FreeBSD/current/src/sys/compile/ROVER  i386

Unfortunately, this happened while I was at work, and my wife needed
the machine rebooted to do some work for the SCA, so I couldn't look
into it.

This machine is basically a two user machine.  I use the color console
head in X running X Inside's server for my #9GXE.  My wife uses an X
terminal for email.  We get about 300-500 email messages a day between
the two of us.  At the time, about four copies of emacs were running
(two for my wife, one for me at work (via ssh) and one for the
console.  There were about 5 xterms on the various displays, an xclock
and maybe two or three sshds running.

I have a vmstat -s ; vmstat -m record from every 10 minutes leading up
to the crash, if that would help.  I didn't see anything odd, but I
thought I'd offer the data.  This hang happened on Nov 5, so the
machine had been up at most two days.

The strange thing was that the hang happened at 10:22 (the last time
my emacs window updated), but the stats are there right up until I had
her reboot at 10:45ish (the 10:20, 10:30 and 10:40 stats are all
there).  There were no network interruptions that were detectible
during this time, and traffic to other machines on the net in my
basement from my office was still happening.

No hardware changes recently on this machine.

P.S.  Here's the diff between 10:20 and 10:30 for date ; vmstat -s ;
vmstat -m run at those times.
