I'm having some difficulties with 5.3-RELEASE. I have made a fresh install from the iso image I downloaded. Formatted the entire drive, just to make sure it was clean. I have installed everything of interest via the ports tree. But many things seem to fail randomly. I can use xfe for a while, then blip its gone. pptpclient is the same. Fluxbox generates .core files as well... but its never shutdown on me. xprop has generated a few too. Doesn't seem to be any one app.
This certainly sounds like a hardware issue like overheating or RAM going bad. Try running www.memtest.org overnight and see whether it finds anything.
I was previously using 5.3-BETA7 and did not have these problems. The only thing I did different this time was to make things from the ports tree instead of pkg_add everything.
There shouldn't be a difference between the two, unless you've set up unusual compiler flags. Check the messages under /var/log, are you seeing SIGILLs (signal #4), or SIGSEGVs (#11)? If you are seeing signal 4's, and you compiled with -march=XXX, where XXX is not appropriate for your CPU, well, don't do that. :-)
(Sorry if this message is not wrapped at 72 char... thunderbird is wrapping it in the gui... but not in the message!?!?)
It was fine, although the consideration is appreciated. Your MUA is creating messages using:
Content-type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=us-ascii
...which contains text properly wrapped for the 80-column crowd.
