Yes - gather this can make life in the fast lane easier... if its all done
perfectly.
Just wanted to confirm that the freezes _do_ happen with X3.3.6 too. I was
able to get into kdb from a serial console (an then lost the log - murphy can
be a real PITA). I figure a ps, bt and bta should be enough to point out
the problem task? Its there anything else I should do (sr t maybe?)?
This was with 2.4.2+ac10+kdb1.8 and x3.3.6 it froze when I returned to the
keyboard after a pause of three hours.
TIA,
Ed
