One more little complaint.. why doesn't vger replace the FROM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] like any other sane mailing list ... i keep going to Reply and not sending to the list. At least add a reply-to tag like the proftpd mailing list has if you want to keep the FROM tag as the original sender.

One can say using a cvs of X is the cause of this by somehow i doubt it would matter. X needs a sane make system and i'll bet 10:1 that it's the root of this shm usage. But it should not be crashing the OS ...which does occur since i just went down a couple minutes ago. Right now it's increasing 1 segment a second it seems. it's at 1200 now and i give it about 30 more minutes before i crash again. I'm gonna run this on the test8-vm3 patched kernel i had before that was VERY good except for that deadlock problem that caused me to crash after 7 days. If the shm usage is insane on that then i'll believe it is X's fault. be back with the results in a few minutes.
