Lockups with 2.1.80

Oh dear, it's still locking up.

I tried some of the early 2.1.7x series, and they locked up occasionally
while I was using them. Oh well. Never mind, sometimes things aren't
perfect. Wait a while.

Yesterday I tried 2.1.80. Much better -- it was fine while I was using
it for about 3 hours. Sadly it also froze. Guessing from logs, I think
it was during `updatedb' -- involving a lot of intense disk activity.

[ I have an AMD K6-233 (without the bug), 64Mb RAM, an FIC PA-2011
motherboard (with one of the VIA chipsets), a 6.4G Quantum Fireball ST
disk (IDE) and a Matrox Millenium II. [A Wintel PC with no Windows and
no Intel chips <grin>] ].
