Well, I have been seeing services mysteriously die every now and again - --- more so on the NSLU2 than on the SheevaPlug. When I check the logs there is usually one of these dumps for the process that has died. So there's obviously something else going on. I haven't seen one of those crashes since I turned overcommit off, though. - -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ │ "Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from │ malice." -- Vernon Schryver -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksK5zQACgkQf9E0noFvlzi83gCeMGckl0Zu24mMZuOIxbpgjVxt NocAoI+9XJIsU7TN7NON+yfPRrze0zam =MeWw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
