The problem occurred again while running a memory intensive application (tripwire) on the system normally suffers these hangs this morning. It responds to pings, nothing else. I think it's time to try plan B again. Interestingly enough I was running the same application on another system with ~ 1/3 the clock speed (120 MHz v.s. 333 MHZ) and 63% of the memory (80 MB v.s. 128 MB). It's never hung slower system. Could it be that CPU speed contributes to this? Or could it be that the speed of the CPU in relation to the amount of memory installed on the system might be a factor?
