using either. I clicked on the link to download and the window

save it as I have done countless times before. As soon as I clicked
that, the window popped up asking where to save it to then kernel
panic. This was in Seamonkey.

So, when Seamonkey or Firefox try to download something, besides the
web pages itself, I get a kernel panic. Is this weird or what?
BTW, as any other browser (well, new enough..), firefox starts
downloading as soon as you click on a link (ie, it dowloads it while you
are choosing where to save it, so that by the time you choose the
dir/filename, smaller files are allready downloaded ;).
You can easilly see this if you have some kind of network traffic monitoring
widget/applet/app...
I guess it starts to download it to a temp file, than moves it to the
file you choose (never looked into it)... so the problem would be most
likely in that operation..

I have noticed that too. You are correct that that is how it is done.
I have had some smaller files that by the time I pick where to put it,
it is already downloaded.
I just find it downright odd that a browser causes a panic because of a
download when other programs, like emerge, can download just fine.
I just had a thought. I'm going to use Konqueror to download a tarball
and see if that fails. If that works, I don't know what to think really
but if it fails, maybe something is off on my /tmp directory or
something. Does this look normal:

Shouldn't kde-dale be owned by me but have user(s) as the group? The
user dale2 is my clean login that I use to test things with. I'm going
to logout and then clean that directory and see what it creates when I
log back in again.
Thoughts on this?
