OK. It happened again. Iceweasel totally frozen. free says: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 516128 496924 19204 0 20524 216632 -/+ buffers/cache: 259768 256360 Swap: 979924 88 979836 OK. I do killall firefox-bin. Restart iceweasel; it works fine again. free now says: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 516128 445980 70148 0 21024 193668 -/+ buffers/cache: 231288 284840 Swap: 979924 88 979836 Not a great deal of difference I think, apart from the "Mem free" value (but I always understood that the "free -/+ buffers/cache" value was more important). Does this give any clues? Regards, Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
