Milan,
I too have experienced a bunch of lockups, but I am using 2.1.131. I have
a dual PPro that has locked up on me perhaps 10 times over the last few
days. It always seems to be one cpu locking up first, and then, less than
10 seconds later, the whole machine locks up tight. It seems to happen
when I am doing stuff that uses lots of memory. It has happened many times
when I am using Netscape 4.0.7, and it happened I think twice when I was
using StarOffice 5.0 which I had just installed, and once when I was
testing a small, command-line encryption program I had just written (using
TEA), on a 36 MB file. The nxterm the encryption program was running on,
or StarOffice, or Netscape suddenly became unresponsive. I could still
switch to other windows and such until the whole machine locked up tight.
I am thinking that I will have to have an nxterm up and running top the
whole time, and next time I am in Netscape and notice that Netscape has
locked up, quickly check out which cpu it's on and such. I won't have much
time. It seems that each time Netscape locked up the machine like this, it
had multiple windows open and several times at least I was simultaneously
downloading something as well.
If anyone wants to look into this and needs more info, I will be happy to
do any tests or send any info they require. I will freely admit that my
machine is overclocked so that you have been fairly warned, but I don't
think that these problems have anything to do with that, if only because
everything else I have run on this machine (FreeBSD, NT, Win98) never
seemed to have any problem at all (like this anyways).
