My computer ( this one is brand new even! ) started running away again.
Its happened twice now, on two diff computers. This can't be a hardware
problem.
First time:
On a 386sx-20 with 4megs RAM
Second time:
On a 486dx4-100 with 8megs RAM
The first time I thought it might be a hardward problem since my monitor
died the next morning( it was barely hanging on as it was)
This time though, its a new computer only days old.
This time, I wasn't logged out and not allowed back in. I was able to
run ps -ax and found no programs running that shouldn't have been.
I did type free and noticed that my swap space was filling up fast.
I kill everything on my other vts and logged out of all except one.
Then the runaway stopped. I was once again connected to my ISP at the
time. I was running lynx and irc. The last time this happened i
was running slrn and irc. So, its either got to be a system problem
or someone on irc found a nice exploit to play with or the irc program
itself has problems.
Any suggestions? ( Besides staying off irc )
