That won't help my keyboard.


Oh, the Pentium III? No, fix Evolution. The Pentium III is heaps for most 
people, even for me if I don't get carried away with a dozen desktops each 
with half-a-dozen windows. a dozen or so mozzes with a couple of dozen tabs 
etc.

Back to Dan's question:

For me, kmail periodically dies with sigfpe or sigsegv. 

Evolution consumes 100% CU for extended periods, but seems to be settling 
down. It ran at 100% for days before I reported that bug.

The whole system froze up a while ago. I'm using it somewhat headless; 'X 
-query ...' from another machine. It quit responding while I was searching a 
DVD; I got tired of waiting for it and went on with another task. Eventually 
my X session crashed and came to my notice, and I discovered the system wqs 
unresponsive to all stimuli short ot the BRS.

Oh, I found a cute way to make mkisofs segv. That might have been on Nahant 
though, Oh, it was.
