Hi,
since the upgrade to FC5.x86_64 (from FC3.x86_64) Thunderbird
sometimes locks up when downloading large emails (not always
reproducible), Firefox frequently hangs (irreproducibly) without
apparent reason. Starting both programs with "strace -f ..." shows
that the last system call before lockups are futex syscalls. So I
thought there might be some race condition? Maybe it has to do with
the SMP kernel used by default in 64bit FC5? Is there a way to get a
"FC5.x86_64-standard kernel" without SMP?
Regards,
Harald
Similar symptoms for me -- including occasional core dumps on
thunderbird startup (and other odd behavior) -- turned out to be a bad
DIMM. It failed memtest86 repeatedly.
Checked that for my computer too. memtest did not report any errors
after running for three days consecutively.
