Hi -- Ive reported this problem twice and am now making a third report with more detailed information... I'm running 2.1.0-950928-SNAP on a p5-100 machine with 16 mb ram, 42 mb swap. When I was using the machine, I had a few things compiling at once, and so were a few of my users. All of a sudden the machine locked up after I switched virtual consoles. This time screen saver was not enabled at all, nor was XWindows. After investigating this problem further, I notice that when I use a lot of ram (disk processes), some things get thrown in infinite swap space and never is drawn out (apparently.) What I am thinking the problem may be with that the keyboard driver/daemon is thrown in the swap space and "dies". I know a few of my programs get thrown there and they never resume processing for some odd reason, even if memory requirements reduce. =( I guess the only way to fix this right now is to buy more memory... Jon
