I don't have any other PCs to test it on - does anyone know of any problems with sox or olvwm (the processes giving signal 11) or xperfmon++, xdaliclock, xterm, xfm (that I was running at the same time)? All of these are straight out of packages. I am running a -O2 kernel, but I think one of the signal 11s was before I changed, although after I got rid of stuff I didn't need from GENERIC. -- Michael Searle - searle@longacre.demon.co.uk
