FWIW i now get something similar on my redhat 9 system. I used to be able to run the evolution 1.4 that it comes with (well xd2), but now i can't. I have no kde installed on this machine. I use tmpfs so /tmp gets cleared every reboot.
I'm not sure if its related to kernel 2.6.x. "Extremely strange, strange things" Doesn't tell us a lot ... Maybe Michael can give us a clue as to what it means? !Z On Mon, 2004-03-15 at 20:39 -0500, Jeffrey Stedfast wrote: > Well, I'm at a loss.
