kernel panic in OpenBSD 5.6 release
Hello, 1) If I run transmission-gtk with ex.: 20 torrent files and I'm on a 50 mbit/sec network, after ~10-15 minutes (network fully used, ethernet, not wifi) my OpenBSD 5.6 64bit on a T61 will always crash and brings up the gdb. Is that normal? How can I help debug it? I'm not running it as root, I'm running it as a normal user. I only set the default datasize-max=2048M in login.conf. 2) If I run mplayer with several videos on a kiosk (Devon IT TC5 x86), after ~21 days the OS crashed. gdb again showing. Before there was a winXP machine that did almost the same: after a given time, a few weeks, mplayer crashed. The solution: put a reboot in crontab for every week. How can a userspace program cause an OS crash? Or I am missing something? How can I help make it better? Or it's just an OS config? Thanks!

Is that normal? Do you mean *ddb*, rather than gdb? If so, its normal when the kernel panics, yes. How can I help debug it? ... Post the panic message, your dmesg(8), and the output from trace and ps commands in the ddb(4) kernel debugger. See crash(8) and ddb(4), and for the kind of information needed when problem reporting, see http://www.openbsd.org/report.html It's not clear if you are running 5.6-release or if you are running with any of the errata patches, or 5.6-stable. If you are running -release, please note there are 15 errata patches, two of which are for kernel panics.

Only running -release without patches. Ok, then I will try out newer versions before reporting anything, thanks!
