Re: silo overflows in CURRENT ... some info that may help

Re-nicing wont help as I have just confirmed that the problem occurs
if I run MAME, exit MAME and then get on the net.

Very wierd...  after running MAME, the serial port is unusable for
ppp unless I reboot.   Just doing a DNS lookup causes several silo
overflows.   MAME does something very strange to the system.

I will grep the MAME source code for anything related to serial
ports.

 Can you nice M.A.M.E. slightly?
 
 Later.. Doug

If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved
quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some
larger space in which our Universe is imbedded. In answer to the
question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our
Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time.
