Just doing a rough diff between the sets showed that the working set had packages from freshrpms, while the bad et had packages from... er - a different place. Just out of curiosity, are you running a stock rh 9 kernel, or self-compiled? Is your system up to date? BTW which version of java are you running? Also, you mentioned mozilla 1.3 - does the box have problems with mozilla 1.2 from redhat, or with the 1.4 from rawhide? (does the problem happen always when using mplayer, or when using mozilla, or a combination, or at random? Joe I am running a stock kernel and it is up to date. I did find the following error file called hs_err_pid9109.log. An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM. Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0x42073770 during VM shutdown Function=__libc_free+0x70 Library=/lib/tls/libc.so.6 #The exception above was detected in native code outside the VM # # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (Blackdown-1.4.1-01 mixed mode) I'm only using mozilla 1.3. The problem is random. Where do I start to look for the problem? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com
