Hi Pasi,

Had a hiccup overnite:

The host became unresponsive in a weird way. The time stopped incrementing.

Turns out the clock stopped ticking (which I put down to the interrupts being 
disconnected).

Anyway I decided I'd reset the time using 'time -s 10:41:30'.

Kaboom, or actually deathly silence. The machine fully stopped dead in its 
tracks.

Just prior to this I connected to the console of one of the 64PV machines 
which was just running a ping from yesterday. Anyway, 60,000 or so lines of 
pings went to the console zipping up the screen. Then it was dead. I did a 
CTRL-C and eventually it returned to the prompt.

So I looked at the other 64PV machine, which was also pining, and identical 
situation.

So I reckon, there's some kind of buffer overflow going on when you're not "xm 
console MACHINE" connected. Once you pass 60,000 lines of text this buffer 
overflow causes the RTC to hangup somehow.

I pressed the reset button, but this time the 2 64PV machines are not logged 
in. I'll just let it go and see if it keeps going.

Cheers
V
