Can we have a package list i.e. the output of pkg_info?

Also can u provide ps -aux as root just before the box freezes.... or when
it is expected to freeze?

In that case I would try to reproduce the same on some older hardware.

I've attached the package list as you required. The attached ps_aux_output shows the processes that were running the last time the freeze occurred. I was skipping back and forth in a track on xmms while mozilla and gtk-gnutella were just sitting there, and the system just froze.


The first time it froze, all of the same processes were running, except xmms, and I was browsing a webpage in mozilla (a webpage that was heavy on JavaScript), while gtk-gnutella was just sitting there.

However, while trying to reproduce the freeze, I downloaded several files from gtk-gnutella and browsed quite a bit without the freeze ever occuring. But when I whipped up xmms - boom, freeze. I've been doing some reading, and it seems that gtk-gnutella computes some sort of hashes for filenames when it's idle. Maybe this is where the error occurs? Rapid, successive calls to stat() maybe? I don't know...

If you need any more info, I'll provide what I can. I'll also continue trying to reproduce the freeze and report anything I think may be of relevance.

Something just occurred to me: my gtk-gnutella is linked with gtk2, not gtk1, which is the default. Maybe I should try to recompile and link with gkt1?
