I've applied the new patch kit hoping it would fix things, but doesn't. The system continues to run, and if I have things running in the background such as "leave" or the window manager they continue to function until they have to use the disk. I'm using Julian's SCSI system on a Micronics 486VL mother board, 16MB memory with Adaptec 1542B and two CDC/Seagate roughly 300 MB drives. I've copied the xterm directory onto my first drive, rebooted single user and verified it still hangs, eliminating the case of a funky file system and broken code. The first thing I ask myself is where the processes are sleeping. Is there any way to dump the process table from the debugger? Peter Dufault HD Associates
