As soon as I had the premature termination when trying to run abrt-cli, the system would "appear" to be running but then typing any command after that in the console seemed to just respond "segmentation fault" even though the terminal would take input - the same response was given to the command "shutdown -h now" at that point too on both the machines I tried to do this on. The conclusion I drew at that point was that memory had run out - and it looked like the kernel was panicked - I could of course be wrong! -- mike c -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
