That's what I'm afraid of. It happened right after the "power outage" (misplaced foot) so I'm wondering if something weird got corrupted. I did check all the RPMs, and none of the md5 hashes have changed on anything important (nor any of the other things it usually flags). Could something have been corrupted but not show up in a RPM check? > Does gaim core-dump? It doesn't dump core, it just gives this message: gaim: relocation error: gaim: undefined symbol: gdk_draw_pixbuf and disappears.

The RAM situation doesn't sound plausible, since it only started happening (like I said) after the "power outage"--and it seems only gaim has the problems. It might be that the GTK libraries got corrupted, though. Everything on this system is RPMs, though--I haven't compiled a single thing, so that can't be the problem. I may try out the new version of Gaim, however, and see if that makes a difference. ~ ross -- This sentence would be seven words long if it were six words shorter. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
